What is the policy for traveling with pets on Thai Airways?

Asked 2 years ago
Thai Airways has a detailed policy regarding traveling with pets, ensuring the safety and comfort of both passengers and animals. Generally, pets are allowed to travel on board as either carry-on baggage or as checked baggage, depending on their size and weight. For pets traveling in the cabin, they must fit within a pet carrier that meets specific size restrictions, typically around thirty-two centimeters in height and twenty-three centimeters wide, while also allowing for adequate ventilation. The combined weight of the pet and carrier cannot exceed a certain limit, generally around seven kilograms. It is essential for passengers to book the travel for their pets in advance, as there are usually limits on the number of animals allowed in the cabin per flight. For larger pets that cannot travel in the cabin, Thai Airways offers services for transporting them as checked baggage. In such cases, pets must be placed in an appropriate and sturdy kennel that complies with the airline's regulations. This service also requires prior arrangement and is subject to availability. Passengers are strongly encouraged to review the specific guidelines and requirements outlined on the official Thai Airways website, as they may change over time. This site is a valuable resource for the most current information regarding pet travel policies, fees, and documentation needed for international travel with pets.
