Common questions
Clear answers about personally escorted, in-cabin pet transportation for domestic and international travel.
Some people use “flight nanny” to describe any pet escorted on an airplane. Cabin Companions provides a more comprehensive, professional service: individualized route planning, preparation before travel, one or more accountable escorts, in-cabin or accompanied transportation, direct communication, and coordinated pickup and reunion. We are not a marketplace assigning your pet to an unknown courier.
Yes. We personally escort cats and small dogs on domestic routes throughout the United States and on many international routes. Airline rules, entry requirements, timing, pet size, and destination restrictions differ, so every journey is assessed and planned individually.
Whenever your pet meets the airline’s requirements, they travel in the passenger cabin with their Cabin Companion. Accompanied excess-baggage transportation may be available on certain routes when appropriate. We do not coordinate international commercial manifest cargo shipping when we are not accompanying the pet on the same flight.
Large dogs generally cannot travel in the passenger cabin unless they are qualified service animals traveling with their handler. For most large dogs, our private ground transportation service is the more appropriate personally managed option.
Yes. We guide families through airline documentation, destination entry requirements, health-certificate timing, and other travel preparations relevant to the route. When a journey requires veterinary or government-issued documents, we explain what is needed and help keep the process on schedule.
Yes, when the pet and medication are appropriate for travel. We create an individualized comfort and medication plan with the family and veterinarian, follow written instructions, monitor the pet closely, and have 24/7 veterinary access if concerns arise. Medication should be tested before travel day whenever the prescribing veterinarian recommends it.
Yes. Continuity is central to our model. The Cabin Companion—or team of Cabin Companions—responsible for the journey remains personally accountable from the agreed pickup point through reunion, without marketplace contractors, unexplained handoffs, or shared transport networks.
Yes. Depending on the route, we can coordinate pickup and reunion at the home, airport, hotel, veterinary office, breeder, rescue, or another agreed location. Any required ground transportation is included in the personalized plan and proposal.
Single-pet domestic in-cabin journeys typically start at $2,995, and international journeys generally start at $6,500. The final proposal reflects the route, airfare, travel time, number of pets, documentation requirements, and ground coordination. You receive one complete price before reserving the journey.
