Air Transat welcomes small dogs and cats to travel in the cabin. The combined weight of the pet and carrier must not exceed 17 lbs (8 kg). For most destinations, the pet must be at least 12 weeks old and fully weaned. However, for flights to the U.S., the animal must be at least 6 months old, and for flights to Guyana, the animal must be at least 4 months old. Only one pet is permitted per person and it will be counted as your carry-on item. The pet must remain inside its carrier, stored underneath the seat in front of you for the entire flight. Passengers with a pet in the cabin cannot be seated in Club Class, emergency exit, or bulkhead seats. Unaccompanied minors and passengers traveling with medical equipment are not permitted to bring a pet in the cabin.
