Japan Airlines' pet policy

Japan Airlines provides a convenient pet transportation service to ensure your furry companions travel comfortably and safely. Depending on their size and weight, pets such as dogs, cats, and small birds can travel as checked baggage or cargo. Advance reservations for pet transport are required, and passengers are encouraged to notify the airline at least 72 hours before departure.

Pet Travel as Checked Baggage:

Pets traveling as checked baggage must be placed in an airline-approved crate or carrier that is well-ventilated, leak-proof, and secure. The combined weight of the pet and carrier must not exceed 32 kg (70 lbs). If the weight limit is exceeded, pets may need to be transported as cargo.

Pet Travel as Cargo:

Japan Airlines offers pet transportation through cargo services for larger pets or when traveling on routes with no checked baggage option. This ensures a safe and temperature-controlled environment for your pets. Cargo bookings should be made in advance to confirm space availability.

Fees for Pet Transportation:

Fees for transporting pets depend on the route, weight of the pet plus carrier, and the travel class. Contact Japan Airlines Reservations or visit the official website to check the exact charges for your journey.

Health and Documentation Requirements:

To ensure smooth travel, you must provide your pet with the necessary health certificates, vaccination records, and import/export documents. Regulations vary by destination, so verify the specific requirements beforehand.
