Can I bring pets on board?

Asked a year ago
British Airways allows passengers to bring pets on board, subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Only cats and dogs are permitted, with some exceptions for service dogs or emotional support animals. Pets must be kept in an approved pet carrier that fits comfortably under the seat, as they are not allowed to occupy a passenger seat. The weight of the pet and carrier should not exceed 8 kg. It is important to note that pet travel is subject to availability and must be pre-booked with British Airways. Additionally, there are specific regulations and health documentation requirements for traveling with pets, including microchipping and vaccinations. Therefore, it is essential to consult the British Airways website or contact their customer service for comprehensive information before flying with pets.
