Can I bring pets on board?

Asked 2 years ago
British Airways does have specific policies regarding the transportation of pets. However, it is important to note that pets are not typically allowed in the cabin on British Airways flights. The airline mainly accommodates pets through its Cargo service, where animals are transported in the hold under specific conditions designed to ensure their comfort and safety. For those wishing to travel with pets, British Airways recommends that customers utilize the airline's dedicated pet travel service, known as British Airways Cargo. This service allows pets to be transported in a climate-controlled environment, providing necessary care and attention during the journey. It is advisable to prepare well in advance, as there are regulations and requirements that must be met, including health certifications and appropriate documentation. For the most accurate and detailed information, it is recommended to visit the British Airways website, where you can find specifics on pet travel, including conditions, fees, and guidelines for international flights. This will also provide insight into any changes or updates that may affect pet transport policies.
