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.
