Can I bring my pet on board with Etihad Airways?

Asked 2 years ago
Etihad Airways offers a pet travel service, allowing passengers to bring their pets on board under specific conditions. Generally, pets can be transported in the cabin on shorter flights, provided they meet certain size and weight restrictions. The total weight of the pet, including the carrier, should typically not exceed the limit set by Etihad Airways. It is advisable for pet owners to check the dimensions of the pet carrier to ensure it complies with the airline's regulations. For larger pets that do not qualify for cabin travel, Etihad Airways also provides a cargo service through Etihad Cargo. This service is designed to ensure that pets are transported safely and comfortably. Owners should arrange for their pets to travel in advance and review any health documentation or vaccinations that may be required for air travel. It is important for passengers to visit the Etihad Airways website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on pet travel policies, including any applicable fees, restrictions, and special requirements. This will help in ensuring a smooth journey for both the pet and the owner. It is advisable to thoroughly prepare before the travel date.
