frequently asked questions
Can I bring my pet on the flight?
AirTran Airways accepts small, domesticated cats, dogs and birds that will fit in an approved carrier under the seat. Airfare for a pet is $69.00 per one-way. Only three pets are allowed per flight. As limited space is available, advance reservations must be made. Of course, service animals (e.g., seeing eye dogs) are always welcome onboard regardless of the number of pets already booked on the flight. AirTran Airways does not transport pets as checked baggage.
The kennel is limited to maximum dimensions of 8.5" high x 17" long x 12" wide. Kennels exceeding these dimensions do not fit onboard our aircraft. The carrier must be leak proof and ventilated on at least two sides. The pet must remain in the carrier and under the seat for the duration of the flight. In many airports, AirTran Airways sells pet kennels for a nominal fee at the ticket counter.
