Cabin pets on domestic flights

Booking and documents
Request the pet at the time of booking or well in advance — slots are limited and not guaranteed at the airport. Carry up-to-date vaccination records and a veterinary health certificate.
Carrier requirements
Use a leak-proof, ventilated, escape-proof soft carrier that fits under the seat. Confirm the latest dimensions, fees and route eligibility on goindigo.in, as pet rules are updated periodically.
