Air Transat Pet Policy (2026)
Fees, Cabin Rules & Restrictions

Cabin Pet Policy

• 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.

Checked Baggage Policy

• Air Transat allows small cats and dogs to travel as checked baggage on certain flights, provided the combined weight of the pet and its carrier does not exceed 99 lbs (45 kg).
• The age requirements for pets traveling as checked baggage are the same as for in-cabin travel: at least 12 weeks old for most destinations, 6 months old for the U.S., and 4 months old for Guyana.
• For brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds, a kennel one size larger than the standard is required, and it must have ventilation on all four sides.
• A signed Acknowledgment and Exclusion of Liability form must be submitted at check-in for these breeds.

Cargo Policy

Animals that exceed the weight and size limits for traveling as checked baggage may be eligible for transport as cargo. For more detailed information and to make arrangements, it is necessary to contact Air Transat directly at (877) 872-6728.
