Pet in Cabin in Aeromexico Flights

Pets are, generally, one more member of our family; our pets are for us creatures that we love and take care of as if they were children. And sometimes, when we travel we need or want to take them with us.

One of the reasons why Aeromexico is the first and most important airline in Mexico is its concern with its customers. In Aeromexico our comfort and tranquility as passengers are a priority. And that’s why in Aeromexico (Mexico) we can board the plane carrying our four-legged child with us.

There are, of course, certain regulations and limitations to guarantee your pet’s safety and other passengers’ comfort. Take into account the following tips and enjoy transporting your Pet in Cabin in Aeromexico flights!

In Aeromexico (Mexico) you can carry dogs of up to 7 kilos on the E-145 aircrafts and of up to 9 kilos on the E-170; E-190 and B-737’s crafts. Your pet has to travel comfortably in a firm cage with reinforced plastic and a one piece interior base of some absorbent material. The cage must contain a metal door with latches to open and close, and ventilation on both sides so that your little friend can breathe and move freely. Please, take into account that the total weight of the dog includes the cage dimensions.

For your pet no to get so nervous and tired, the flight can be 5 hours maximum. Also, in order to preserve your dog’s and other passengers’ health, pets under veterinary treatment or younger than 8 weeks are not permitted in Aeromexico (Mexico) flights.

When you arrive at the airport before departing remember to:

-          Present your dog for the inspection by the Health Department and/or the airport authorities.

-          Bring with you your pet’s vaccination certificate against rabies.  Said certificate must have been issued within the 30 days previous to the date of your flight.

-          Hand in the veterinary certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fishing and Food (SAGARPA). Please, do not forget it because its formality is considered your responsibility.

For your own comfort and that of your pet, you can transport maximum one dog. Also, unaccompanied minors with pets are not permitted.

Passengers carrying their pets will have access to Premier Lounges Boarding Gates (SUE).  Please remember that your pet must be in its cage before boarding and when entering the aircraft’s cabin.

Of course flying may scare your pet. For that reason, you will keep your pet under the seat in front of you and in the cage; so that s/he can see you and feel more comfortable and secure.

It is not allowed to feed your dog or give him/her beverages during the trip because s/he may feel sick.

Special Cases!

-          Service Animals as well as Emotional Support Animals are exempt from these norms.

-          Pets that do not comply with the requisites to be accepted as Pets in Cabin can be transported as Checked Baggage (AVIH) or through Aeromexico Cargo.

So, if you had the craving for a trip to the beach but you wouldn’t leave your little dog at home, just book your Aeromexico ticket in vallarta.com and enjoy the flight with him/her!
