Traveling with Pets

What is Allegiant's Pet-in-Cabin Policy?

Allegiant welcomes small live animals/pets in the aircraft cabin within the contiguous 48 United States. Travel to international destinations and U.S. territories do not accept all pets. Here are a few things you must know before flying with your pet in the cabin:

• We welcome the following pets in the cabin:
  • Domestic dogs and cats only
• All pets must be transported in a soft-sided or hard-sided enclosed leak-proof carrier
  • We strongly suggest a soft-sided carrier
  • The carrier may be no larger than 8”H x 14”W x 18”L & fully close to contain the pet
  • No more than 2 pets per carrier
• A pet carrier counts towards your maximum 2 items to be carried on the aircraft. A passenger may travel with a pet carrier plus a personal item or a paid carry-on bag, but not both.
• A non-refundable fee of $50.00 per segment per carrier will apply for all pets
• Each paid traveler may have only one pet carrier
• All animals must be at least eight (8) weeks of age
• While at the airport terminal and onboard the aircraft, pets must remain entirely in the carrier and only be handled by the traveler. The pet may be denied boarding for future flights if a passenger does not comply.
• Pet carriers/kennels must be placed under the seat during taxi, take-off, and landing.
• All animals are required to be harmless, non-disruptive, and odorless
• Pets cannot be ill, violent, or in physical distress
• Pet(s) must fit comfortably in the carrier by not touching or protruding from the carrier, and also have the ability to stand up and turn around.
• Passengers with pets may not sit in the exit row or the bulkhead. Due to foot space limitations, pet carriers are prohibited in aisle seats on Boeing aircraft. If an aisle seat has been selected, the passenger will be relocated to an alternate location.
• Passengers with pets must check in with an Allegiant agent at the ticket counter or gate counter at least one (1) hour prior to scheduled departure to ensure pets and pet carriers are compliant with the above guidelines
• Allegiant does not transport animals in the cargo bin
• A health certificate is not required
• Allegiant assumes no responsibility for the health and well-being of pets in the cabin
• Contact TSA.gov for information regarding clearing TSA security with a pet
• Passengers who do not comply with the above guidelines may be denied boarding
