Can I bring my pet onboard?
Northwest Airlines allows certain pets to travel onboard in the passenger cabin, provided they meet specific guidelines. Generally, only small dogs and cats are permitted in the cabin, and they must be transported in an airline-approved pet carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. It is essential that the carrier is well-ventilated, secure, and offers enough space for your pet to stand and turn around comfortably.
Before planning to travel with a pet, it is advisable to check the specific policies regarding pet travel on Northwest Airlines' current website, as rules and availability may vary by flight or destination. Additionally, there are often fees associated with bringing a pet onboard, so you will want to familiarize yourself with any costs involved.
It is also important to note that there may be restrictions on traveling with pets to certain locations due to health regulations. Being well-prepared will make for a smoother experience for both the passenger and their furry companion.
