Traveling with Your Pet? Know the Spirit Airlines Pet Policy First

[spiritairconnect]

This year, I was nervous about taking my small dog on a trip until I heard about the Spirit Airlines pet policy. It turns out that pets are welcome! Small pets, cats, rabbits, and even domestic birds are allowed in Spirit's cabin. But there's an extra fee: tickets must be made well in advance because only six pets are permitted per trip.

A soft-sided carrier (between 18" x 14" x 9") is required, and each carrier costs $125. Pets are not allowed in cargo since Spirit keeps them close at hand. There is an unique, extensive procedure, which includes a DOT form, if you are traveling with a service dog. Knowing that Spirit actually makes traveling with pets easier and safer is great.

Before traveling with your pet on Spirit Airlines, review their pet policy carefully. Small domestic dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds are allowed in the cabin on select flights within the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Pets must remain in a soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat, and total weight (pet + carrier) must not exceed 40 pounds. Spirit charges a pet fee per container, and only one pet carrier is allowed per passenger. No pets are allowed in cargo. Always check current guidelines before booking, as rules may change.

Spirit Airlines accepts small dogs, cats, and household birds who are at least 8 weeks old to travel in the cabin on domestic flights.
