Can I buy my dog a seat on a plane?… – The US Sun

IT'S that time of the year again when we pack up our stuff and fly off somewhere warm and sunny – but can we bring our closest companions?
There's nothing worse than being dressed in your holiday clothes and staring at your dog knowing you won't see them for a while.
Fear not, because according to Pets that Travel, you can buy your four-legged friend a ticket in a plane.
Though not airlines offer it, a handful do and they impose strict rules and regulations on owners.
To fly your dog in Cabin, you'll need to make sure it's healthy.
They'll need a pet passport, which is typically dispensed by your vet and gives the airlines the all-clear on your dog's health.
They'll have to prove rabies vaccination and other health certificates.
Your dog must be small and light and that's because airlines usually require them to be packed away in carriers under passenger seats.
And they can't be a certain breed. Airlines typically don't allow snub-nosed dogs to fly and that's because they can be more prone to certain illnesses.
A final point is that your dog must be well-behaved and be microchipped and up to date with their vaccinations.
Weight restrictions can depend on the airline you're travelling with.
One of the airlines, Jet Blue, allows dogs no larger than 43x31x21cm to travel in Cabin.
Another, United, has a limit of 46x28x28cm for a soft-sided carrier and 44x30x19cm for a hard-sided cover.
It's expected your dog weighs less than 8kg when combined with the carrier.
Dogs are typically not let out of their carrier during a flight.
Instead, they're forced to do their business in their crate, which should be packed with a pad or towel.
Some airlines don't even allow owners to move their dogs from under the seat.
The two US airlines that allow dogs in Cabin are Jet Blue and United.
