Forget the Kennel; Take Your Pet with You and Leaving the Flying to Southwest!
Traveling with your favorite furry friend is a lot easier now that Southwest Airlines provides a new service for passengers traveling with small pets. For a minimal fee, passengers can bring their pet on board in a pet carrier. The carrier must fit under their seat, must be leak-proof, and hold no more than two animals of the same species. The $75 fee provides a cost-effective alternative to American Airlines’ fee of $100 and United Airlines’ fee of $125. “But what if my pet has to relieve itself?” you may ask. Not to worry - Long Island MacArthur Airport offers a convenient pet relief area adjacent to the airport terminal where you can bring your pet before or after flights. Forget costly, impersonal kennel services; take your pet with you when you fly!
