Can I bring my pet on board with me?

Asked 2 years ago
WestJet allows passengers to bring small pets on board as part of their travel experience. However, there are specific guidelines to follow. Pets must be kept in a suitable carrier that meets WestJet’s size requirements, and the carrier must be placed under the seat in front of the passenger. Typically, the maximum dimensions for the carrier are approximately 21.5 inches long, 15.5 inches wide, and 9.5 inches high, although these measurements may change, so it is wise to double-check the current requirements. In terms of fees, there is generally a charge for bringing your pet on board, and this fee may vary depending on the flight route. It is important to ensure that the pet is comfortable during the journey and that they are not disturbing other passengers. For larger pets, WestJet offers the option to transport them in the cargo hold, and this again requires adherence to specific guidelines. Before traveling, it is advisable for passengers to visit the official WestJet website for the most up-to-date information regarding pet travel, including any health documentation or vaccination requirements that may be necessary.
