I know this is an old thread, but just wondering if anyone's had experiences with Souhtwest and pets yet?? I have a 18-20 lb pug, but hes really tiny for his weight (hes just very dense) and I'm considering taking him on a short 1 hour flight with me.
have any pug/frenchie owners taken their cuties on a plane yet??
Over the holidays, I flew with my two cats on Southwest (the flight was about an hour). SW charged a $75 fee each way (which wasn't explained to me when I called their CS to reserve the spot for my pets) and they didn't need a health certificate. It was a bit pricier than the other airlines that I have flown with before, but they also were less restrictive with their pet policy. So that could be part of it.
It actually cost more to fly my cats than it did to fly me.
The only thing that was kind of a pain was going through security, but I would think it would be a lot easier with a dog.
ETA: I posted a pic of the carrier I used earlier in the thread. That was fine with SW.
