Traveling with your Dog on the plane? Here are the guidelines

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released new operational guidance for airlines on managing in-cabin pet travel, covering booking, check-in, boarding, and arrival. Airlines should clearly state early reservation requirements, typically 48-72 hours before departure, and communicate any pet fares. Passengers must submit all required documentation, including health certificates and vaccination records. IATA's 2025 survey found that 41% of potential travelers are uncertain about pet eligibility and 36% about airline policies.
