Major airlines are officially opening cabin sections for larger pets. This is a massive win for animal safety. We finally did it.
March 1, 2021
Scheduled flights with seat sections for people traveling with cats and large dogs in cabin.
Final supporters
Based on the most recent statistics, approximately 470 million dogs and 370 million cats are kept as pets in the world.
This is to petition all national and international airlines to please schedule a weekly or bi-monthly flight on major routes with a specific section of the plane dedicated to people wishing to travel with large dogs and cats in cabin.
At this time, only very small dogs and cats are allowed to travel in cabin with the passenger, and often have to sit with other passengers that do no want to be close to animals. Larger dogs have to travel in cargo, which can be dangerous and very stressful for the animal. Many deaths have been reported.
A simple web search shows the large number of people looking for ways to travel with their pets in cabin, and currently the only options for dogs over 15 lbs is the cargo of the plane, pet transport companies (still in cargo) or private planes.
We, pet owners, kindly request that all major airlines dedicate one scheduled flight, on all major routes or hubs, on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, with a section of the aircraft dedicated to passengers willing to purchase additional seats (space) for their larger dogs to travel in cabin with them. Extra fees for cleaning or insurance could be added, which most of us pet lovers would be glad to pay for the safety of our pets and for our peace of mind. Boarding could be done before or after the other sections of the plane. Muzzles, leashes and harnesses could be required at all times for safety.
By target advertising and specifying on booking sites that selected flights are available for pet owners, we are confident that the demand would be more than sufficient to cover the airlines’ profit requirements, as well as giving the opportunity to non-animal-friendly passengers to select all other available flights.
Please consider doing a market study on this subject. We are confident that the results will show that the demand for this service is very high at an international level.
Thank you.

The momentum is undeniable now. Airlines have to acknowledge that we refuse to put our pets in cargo.

Yes. I would pay for this, and you would get a lot less fake service animals as people would be happy to just pay extra fees to fly with their pet. I have switched to currently driving around the country instead of flying because I cannot take my dog.
I would absolutely be willing to fly commercial if my dogs are allowed and would gladly buy them tickets. I will save up and fly a private flight share before putting my dogs in cargo. Airlines are missing out on a huge revenue stream!
Would I buy an extra seat? Yes. Would I travel longer to a designated airport? Yes Would I fly at an unpopular hour or restricted dates? Yes Would I consider pet charters? Yes Would I let my dog fly in a cargo area which is not temperature controlled? Absolutely not.
Please can we travel with our fur babies. I travelled on the 1st November with my 2 dogs and one is still not recovered from the shock of it all. If only I could have been with them by their side I know my dog would have handled it better.
Living in honduras we need this and working for a shelter that rely on donations and adoptions to get our pets a home we need this I don't care if we have to pay a pet fee let us get these pets to there furever homes
Must have immediately
It‘s been so difficult to find a way of traveling that allows us to be together & protect each other !

Aside from the obvious, of airlines allowing animals a humane transit experience, the industry is missing out on a tremendous revenue, not to mention PR, opportunity in allowing well-behaved domestic pets to fly in the cabins on specifically designated flights.
