     -Your 6-character confirmation (also called a ‘Record Locator’)

If you don’t know your Record Locator, you can find it in the confirmation email you received when you booked your trip.

How to book in-cabin pet travel?

On flights with American you can bring 1 kennel as your carry-on bag if:
     -You pay the carry-on pet fee
     -Your pet stays in the kennel and under the seat in front of you the entire flight
You can travel with your pet carrier and 1 personal item, but you will not be permitted to bring a carry-on bag in addition to a pet carrier and personal item. Instead, the kennel will replace your carry-on bag.
If your pet is too large to fly in the cabin, it must travel with American Airlines Cargo. Keep in mind, we only accept checked pets for active-duty U.S. Military and U.S. State Department Foreign Service personnel traveling on official orders, and the pet carrier must meet all kennel guidelines for checked-pets. If you don’t meet these requirements, your pet may not travel. Fees and restrictions apply.
