Which Airlines Allow Pets in the Cabin in 2026?

There are a large number of airlines that allow pets in the cabin, although the number of pet-friendly airlines varies in different regions of the world. To help you plan your travels with your pet, I’ve put together this list of airlines in different regions that allow dogs and cats in the cabin, including whether this applies on international flights.

Which Airlines Allow Pets in the Cabin on International Flights?

Some airlines only allow pets to fly in the cabin on domestic flights, not on international flights, even if the airline flies internationally. For each of the airlines listed below as allowing pets in the cabin, I have indicated whether this only applies domestically or whether they are also allowed on international flights.

Additionally, even if pets are allowed in the cabin on international flights, nearly all airlines have restrictions on the destinations. This may be due to government regulations (such as rules not allowing pets to fly in the cabin into the United Kingdom or Australia) or due to the airline’s policies.
