How Do I Book a Flight on Southwest Airlines for a Pet?


Call Now for Pet Travel Assistance! Dial our toll-free number at +1-844-765-2010 to get help with booking a flight for your pet on Southwest Airlines. Traveling with your furry friend is easy with Southwest’s pet-friendly policies. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth booking process for you and your pet:


Check Southwest Airlines’ Pet Policy

Before booking, review Southwest Airlines’ pet policy to understand the guidelines. Only small cats and dogs are allowed to travel in the cabin, and they must remain in an approved carrier under the seat in front of you.


Contact Us for Guidance! If you have questions about the pet policy or need clarification, call us at +1-844-765-2010. Our team is here to help you navigate the process.


Book Your Flight First

Start by booking your own flight through the Southwest Airlines website, mobile app, or by calling +1-844-765-2010. Ensure your chosen flight is eligible for pet travel, as there are limits on the number of pets allowed per flight.


Add Your Pet to the Reservation

Once your flight is booked, contact Southwest Airlines to add your pet to the reservation. Pets cannot be added online, so you’ll need to call their customer service team at +1-844-765-2010 to complete this step.


Prepare an Approved Pet Carrier

Your pet must travel in an airline-approved carrier that fits under the seat. Ensure the carrier is well-ventilated, secure, and meets Southwest’s size requirements (18.5" long x 8.5" high x 13.5" wide).


Call for Help with Pet Carrier Requirements! If you’re unsure about carrier specifications, dial +1-844-765-2010 for assistance.


Pay the Pet Fare

Southwest Airlines charges a pet fare of $125 each way. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid when adding your pet to the reservation.


Arrive Early at the Airport

On the day of your flight, arrive at the airport early to check in with your pet. Southwest Airlines requires you to check in at the ticket counter to confirm your pet’s reservation and pay any applicable fees.


Call Now for Last-Minute Pet Travel Questions! If you need help on the day of your flight, contact us at +1-844-765-2010 for immediate support.


Enjoy Your Flight with Your Pet

Once everything is confirmed, you and your pet can board the plane and enjoy your journey together. Southwest Airlines makes it easy to travel with your furry companion!
