Here are a few questions and answers that I have received when flying a puppy. If this doesn’t answer your questions, please feel free to ask me!
Where are they when they are on the plane? Animals are transported in the same compartments as baggage, mail and other cargo. These compartments are pressurized and maintain a temperature range from 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Document Requirements
Animals must be accommodated in a kennel that meets USDA guidelines or the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animal Regulations. Note: Two dogs may travel together in the same kennel if each is less than 20 lbs and between 8 weeks and 6 months old. All animals must be at least 8 weeks old and weaned. Kennel Construction
Warm-blooded animals will be accepted for transport if the actual or forecasted temperature in each city along the routing is 20 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Note: 85 degrees Fahrenheit is the high limit regardless of acclimation or waiver. American Airlines will not accept an animal if the actual or forecasted temperature in any city along the routing is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of acclimation or waiver.How do I pick up my puppy at the airport? When you get to the airport, go to the ticket counter and ask them where you will be picking up a puppy that was shipped in cargo. They will then send you to 1 of the 3 locations depending on your airport. 1. Airport Ticket Counter (American Eagle Cities) 2. Airport Baggage Service or 3. Cargo terminal
