What methods of transport does ExpressJet provide for my pet?

• ExpressJet will only carry animals in the cabin.

Does my pet qualify for travel in the passenger cabin?

Pets that meet the following qualifications can travel in the passenger cabin:

• Your pet can comfortably remain in its kennel, under the seat for the entire flight.
• Only domesticated dogs, cats, and household birds are allowed. Pit Bulls, reptiles (including snakes), ferrets, rodents, or spiders are not allowed.
• Dogs and cats must be at least 8 weeks old.
• The kennel is specifically made for animal carriage and does not exceed 17in x 12in x 10in (length x width x height).
• Your pet has all necessary health documents required by your destination (see below for more information).

What are the fees associated with pet transport?

ExpressJet charges $50 for each flight segment. Please note that service animals are always welcome on board, travel free, and are not subject to the same rules.

What are the kennel requirements?

In addition to the size and weight maximums, the USDA and ExpressJet require that kennels meet the following requirements:

• Be leak-proof and escape-proof.
• Be properly ventilated, but not allow any part of the animal from protruding outside of the container.
• Provide enough room for the animal to stand and turn around.
• Be made of metal, wood, or a hard plastic/composite.
• Contain absorbent material or litter.
• Have functional handles on the kennel's exterior to prevent tilting and any direct contact with the animals.
• Be closed securely, but not locked.
• Have labels with the words "Live Animal" in letters at least one-inch tall on the crate's top and on at least one side.
• Have upright arrow labels indicating kennel's correct position.

What health documentation is required?

While ExpressJet does not require a health certificate for your animal , some States do require health documents. As it is the passenger's responsibility to be aware of all regulations, you should consult your veterinarian and the Department of Agriculture to ensure that your animal will comply with all requirements.

Are there any other restrictions?

ExpressJet can refuse to transport an animal due to illness, aggressive behavior, poor kenneling, or extreme temperatures at origin, transfer, or destination airports.
