What is American Airlines' pet policy? Talk to a Live Person
American Airlines allows passengers to travel with pets, but their pet policy depends on the type of animal, destination, and travel method. Here's a quick overview:
✅ Pets Allowed in the Cabin
Small cats and dogs are permitted in the cabin on most domestic flights.
The pet must be at least 8 weeks old.
Your pet must remain in an approved soft-sided or hard-sided carrier that fits under the seat in front of you.
The combined weight of the pet and carrier must meet airline requirements (typically under 20 lbs).
🛄 Pets as Checked Baggage or Cargo
American Airlines does not allow pets as checked baggage.
Larger animals must be shipped via American Airlines Cargo, which has its own regulations.
Breed restrictions apply, especially for brachycephalic (snub-nosed) dog breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs.
📍 International Pet Travel
Some international destinations do not allow pets in the cabin.
You'll need to provide health certificates, vaccination records, and comply with destination-specific rules.
💰 Pet Travel Fees
In-cabin pet fee: Usually around $125 per kennel, each way (subject to change).
Cargo costs vary by size, weight, and destination.
