Can I bring pets on board with me on Southwest Airlines flights?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, Southwest Airlines allows passengers to bring small, vaccinated pets on board. However, there are some guidelines to follow. Only cats and dogs are accepted as onboard pets, and they must be well-behaved and carried in an appropriate container that fits under the seat in front of you. The pet carrier will be considered as your carry-on item and a fee per carrier applies. Additionally, Southwest Airlines has specific restrictions on the number of pets allowed on each flight, so it's advisable to make a reservation for your pet in advance. The safety and comfort of both the pet and fellow passengers are of utmost importance to Southwest Airlines. Therefore, they do not allow pets to be transported in the cargo bin of the aircraft.
