frequently asked questions
Can I travel with a pet?
We accept small, domesticated cats, dogs and birds that will fit in an approved carrier under the seat.
- The pet kennel is limited to maximum dimensions of 8.5" high x 17" long x 12" wide.
- The carrier must be leak proof and ventilated on at least two sides.
- There is no weight restriction on pets.
- The pet must remain in the carrier and under the seat for the duration of the flight.
Airfare for a pet is $69.00 one-way. Only three (3) pets are allowed per flight. As limited space is available, advanced 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.
For additional information about traveling with a pet or to book pet travel, please contact the AirTran Airways reservations desk at 1-800-AIR-TRAN (1-800-247-8726) or 678-254-7999 for international calls.
In many airports, AirTran Airways sells pet kennels for a nominal fee at the ticket counter. AirTran Airways does not transport pets as checked baggage.
