What is Avianca's policy for traveling with pets?

Asked 2 years ago
Avianca Airlines allows passengers to travel with their pets, but there are specific guidelines that must be followed to ensure a smooth journey for both travelers and their furry companions. Generally, pets such as cats and dogs are permitted to travel in the cabin or as checked baggage, depending on their size and weight. When traveling in the cabin, the pet must fit comfortably in an airline-approved carrier that meets the dimension requirements set by Avianca. Usually, the combined weight of the carrier and the pet should not exceed a certain limit, often around twenty pounds or nine kilograms. For pets traveling as checked baggage, Avianca has a separate procedure, and specific requirements regarding kennel dimensions, health documentation, and fees apply. It is advisable for travelers to ensure that their pet is healthy enough for air travel and to prepare all necessary documents, such as vaccination records. Travelers can find detailed information about the pet policy on Avianca's official website, including any additional charges, conditions, and regional regulations that may apply.
