So where does your pet go when traveling via air? That depends on the airlines and the animal’s breed. For American Airlines, pets over eight-weeks and can fit under the cabin seat are allowed to be placed in the cabin. For British Airways, only special assistance dogs and emotional assistance animals flying directly from and to the U.S. are allowed in the cabin, while the rest is placed in the hold. But among these two airlines, there is one common rule; Brachycephalic(short-nosed) dogs such as Pugs and Boxers aren’t allowed to fly due to the risk of breathing difficulties. Animals placed in the hold for travel are mostly safe as most airline companies hold this duty in high regard.
