You have made a lot of decisions already. Namely questions regarding your luggage. You have to decide what to pack and what size of luggage to bring. You know that your two options are to go carry on, or to check your bags. The primary difference between a checked bag and a carry-on is that checked bags are larger in size and travel in the cargo hold of a plane. A carry-on bag is smaller and travels with you in the cabin of the airplane.
Both are screened by the Transportation Services Authority. A carry-on is a smaller piece of luggage that you stow in the overhead compartment of the plane. Most stateside carriers limit carry-on luggage by size , the smallest being 22 x 14 x 9 inches length x width x height , though Hawaiian airlines also has a pound weight limit. International carriers have not only size restrictions, but weight restrictions as well.
Air France has the most stringent requirements with dimensions of Most large carriers allow you one personal item and one carry-on bag for free, but the smaller, niche airlines typically do not. The price goes up significantly if your bag is overweight. Southwest Airline stands alone, allowing two free checked bags under 50 pounds. You can also check out our Airport Guide to see if there are additional travel restrictions placed on pets at your travel destination. Fewer airlines are offering checked baggage for pet travel, but many passengers flying out of major airports still have both options available to them.
With this in mind, we also wanted to offer some general advice for people who are trying to make the best choice between checked baggage and cargo for their dog or other pets. This is the most compelling factor for many pet owners, and traveling in cargo is widely considered a safer option overall. To be clear, pets end up traveling in the cargo hold, regardless of whether they are traveling as cargo or checked baggage.
The difference is in the holding and shipping protocols that are used. Pets traveling as checked baggage must be on the same flight as the accompanying passenger. Delays can meet your pet is waiting on the tarmac with the rest of the checked baggage. So long as you and the airline follow all the relevant procedures, healthy animals should be fine.
Nevertheless, some airlines have determined the logistics and risks that come with pets traveling as checked baggage were simply too high. This is probably the most common reason to travel with dogs in checked baggage.
