Vietnam Airlines Pet Policy

In-Cabin Pets

• Pets Allowed: Small dogs, cats, and birds.
• Carrier Requirements: The pet must be in a soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. The carrier must be secure, leak-proof, and well-ventilated.
• Dimensions: The carrier should not exceed 40 cm x 30 cm x 18 cm (L x W x H) and the total weight (pet + carrier) should not exceed 6 kg.
• Cost: A fee applies for bringing a pet on board. The exact fee depends on the route and is detailed on Vietnam Airlines' official website.
• Limitations: Only one pet carrier is allowed per passenger, and a limited number of pets are allowed in the cabin per flight. Early booking is recommended.

Checked Baggage Pets

Policy: Larger pets that do not meet the in-cabin size and weight requirements can travel as checked baggage in the cargo hold. The cargo hold is temperature-controlled and pressurized for the safety of pets.

Service Animals

Policy: Vietnam Airlines permits service animals to accompany passengers with disabilities in the cabin at no extra charge. Documentation and advance notice are required, especially for international flights.

Health and Safety Requirements

• Vaccinations: Pets must have valid vaccination records and comply with the destination's health requirements.
• Behavior: Pets must remain in their carrier throughout the flight and should not disturb other passengers. Disruptive animals may be denied boarding.

Booking

• Reservations: Pet reservations should be made as early as possible due to the limited number of pets allowed on each flight.
• Check-In: Passengers traveling with pets must check in at the airport counter, as online check-in is not available for passengers with pets.

Destinations

• Restrictions: Certain international destinations may have restrictions or specific requirements for pet travel. It is crucial to verify these regulations before your flight.
