Fido now has the “Freedom to Fly” on Southwest Airlines as long as he’s small enough to fit in an underseat carrier. The popular low-fare carrier is now allowing passengers to bring small cats and dogs in the aircraft cabin for a special “pet fare” of $75 each way. (Pets are not permitted in cargo.)
All pets must be in a carrier that fits under the airplane seat, and the carrier will count as the Customer’s carry-on bag. Customers can now purchase tickets for their small cats and dogs for travel beginning June 17, 2009.
