If you're planning on traveling with your furry friend, you'll need to know the airline's pet policy. Allegiant Airlines does allow pets on some of its flights, but there are some restrictions in place.

Can Pets Travel on Allegiant Airlines?

Carry-On Pets

Small pets, such as cats and dogs, are allowed in the cabin of the aircraft if they are in a carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. The carrier must be made of a hard or soft material and must be at least 6 inches high by 9 inches long by 17 inches wide.

There is a fee of $100 each way for carry-on pets. You can only have one pet per carrier, and the pet must be at least 8 weeks old.

Checked Pets

Larger pets, such as dogs that weigh more than 20 pounds, must be transported in a cargo hold. The pet must be in a hard-sided kennel that is large enough for the pet to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

The fee for checking a pet is $100 each way. You must arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight to check in your pet.

Banned Pets

Certain breeds of dogs, such as pit bulls, Staffordshire terriers, and Rottweilers, are not allowed to travel on Allegiant Airlines.

Health Requirements

All pets traveling on Allegiant Airlines must be up-to-date on their vaccinations. You will need to provide a certificate of vaccination from your veterinarian.

Pets must also be free of any diseases or parasites. If your pet is not healthy, it will not be allowed to travel.
