Etihad Airlines Pet Policy
Etihad Airlines welcomes pets on board, allowing small cats and dogs to travel in the cabin with their owners. To ensure a smooth journey for your furry companion, it is important to familiarize yourself with Etihad's pet policy.
If you plan to travel with your pet on Etihad Airlines, it is recommended to submit a booking form at least seven days in advance. Additionally, all required supporting documents must be emailed no later than 72 hours before your flight. This allows the airline to make necessary arrangements and ensures a hassle-free experience for both you and your pet.
Small cats and dogs are permitted in the passenger cabin on Etihad Airlines, as long as the combined weight of the pet and carrier does not exceed 17 lbs (8kg). Economy travelers have the option to place their pet carriers under the seat or purchase an adjacent seat for their pet to sit on. Business or First Class travelers can also purchase an adjacent seat for their pet carriers.
