Travel with a puppy

Hi:

I will be flying on a non- stop flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Denver this coming Sunday 5/3.

Are there any new restrictions I need to be aware of? I know that I will need to purchase her ticket the day I fly out.

She will be a southwest pet carrier.

Thank you for your help!

There's nothing new. 

 

Just the existing rules:

Since there is  6 pet/plane limit, you might want to do something that is suggested in the link:

 

" Reservations must be made in advance by calling 1-800-I-FLY-SWA (1-800-435-9792). On the day of travel, Customers must bring the pet to the airport in an approved pet carrier. Proceed to the airport ticket counter to check the pet in and pay the Pet Fare before going to the departure gate."

 

What kind of puppy did you get?

 

Have a good flight!
