Depending on the size, you often can. I do this with my cat. He counts as my carry-on and I don't get any extra carry-on allowance for buying a second seat though. So there are some extra luggage costs involved in addition to the pet fee. But when the flight attendant comes by and says "sir, you need to put the cat underneath", I say "I bought this seat for him and the ticket agent said it would be ok." Hasn't failed me yet.
- darknavi 5y agoWe pay ~$100 each way to put our small dog under the seat on flights. He just curls up and hangs out. Definitely a little stressed but not panicking or anything. edit: On Alaska
- BugsJustFindMe 5y agoThe one time I put my cat under the seat instead of buying him his own seat he wet himself and got stress cystitis, so I don't put him through that anymore. Obviously YMMV.
- nicolexcaba 5y agoYeah it's definitely possible. There are more than 400 pet-friendly airlines you can book tickets from on avvinue.com. While you can't book a separate seat for them, you can have them fly in cabin with you if they meet the criteria. So it's definitely possible -- that's why we launched Avvinue for this.
