Garuda Indonesia Pet Policy
Garuda Indonesia requires pet owners to inform the airline well in advance of their travel time. It is important to note that animals are not accepted on ATR72-600 aircraft. Garuda Indonesia may refuse any animal for travel.
Unfortunately, pets are not accepted in the cabin on Garuda Indonesia flights. This means that your furry friends will have to travel in the cargo hold.
If you wish to travel with your pet on Garuda Indonesia, you can do so by checking them in as baggage. However, there are certain restrictions and requirements that need to be met. Animals are only accepted on domestic flights that are less than 2 hours without any transit. The maximum combined weight of pets and their carriers must not exceed 70 lbs (32 kg).

In addition to the weight restrictions, you will also need to ensure that your pet is accompanied by valid health and vaccination certificates, entry permits, and all other documents needed for entry. These documents are necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet during the journey.
It is important to note that there is a fee for animals traveling in the hold. The fee is charged as excess baggage and the amount varies depending on the destination and origin of your travel. The fee can range between 47,000-2,300,000 IDR.
For pets traveling as checked baggage, carriers must meet IATA regulations. It is recommended to check the specific requirements and regulations for pet carriers before your journey to ensure compliance.
Keep in mind that air carriers can change these policies at any time, so you should always check directly with the airline you are traveling on, before you book, for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
