At Skywest Airlines, we understand that pets are an important part of our passengers' families, and we are committed to providing a comfortable and safe travel experience for both our human and furry travelers. In this policy, we will provide information on the transportation of pets on Skywest Airlines flights.
Definition of a Pet
For the purposes of Skywest Airline pet policy, a pet is defined as a domesticated animal that is small enough to fit in a carrier and be stowed under the seat in front of you. This includes dogs, cats, birds, and small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Pets are not considered carry-on or checked baggage.
Travel with Pets
Pets are allowed to travel on Skywest Airlines flights, provided they meet the requirements outlined in this policy. All pets must be transported in a well-ventured carrier that is stowed under the seat in front of you. The carrier must be leak-proof, escape-proof, and properly ventilated, and must meet the following dimensions:
Maximum dimensions: 17"L x 12.5"W x 8"H
Maximum weight: 20 pounds (including carrier and pet)
Service Animals
Service animals that assist passengers with disabilities are allowed to travel on Skywest Airlines flights free of charge, and are not considered pets. Service animals must be trained to assist with a specific disability, and must be able to behave in a public setting. Passengers traveling with service animals should contact Skywest Airlines in advance to make arrangements.
Pet Fees
A fee of $125.00 USD per pet carrier, per flight segment, will be charged for pets traveling in the cabin. This fee is non-refundable and applies to each way of travel, including connecting flights.
