Are guinea pigs allowed on airplanes?


Are guinea pigs allowed on airplanes? They do permit guinea pigs in the cabin, as does United Airlines. American Airlines will only permit guinea pigs as cargo. The only complication with this is the cargo area of a plane is prone to wild swings in temperature and cabin pressure, making it not ideal for transporting a fragile pet like a guinea pig.


What carrier does TSA require for pets?

All pets should be brought to a security checkpoint in a hand-held travel carrier. Remove the pet from the carrier just prior to the beginning of the screening process. Place the empty travel carrier on the checkpoint conveyor belt so it can be X-rayed. Never place a pet in the X-ray tunnel.


Which US airline allows pets?

Many airlines allow pets to fly in the cabin as a carry-on, so long as they stay inside a carrier that's small enough to fit under the seat in front of you for the duration of the flight. Southwest, Alaska, United, American, Delta, Hawaiian, Spirit, and Frontier are some of the airlines that allow pets as carry-ons.
