Travelling with a Guide/Assistance Dog

A Guide or Assistance animal trained to provide mobility assistance (Blind, Deaf) or to assist a disabled person are permitted to be carried in all cabin sections with conditions.

Guide animals or Assistance animals may travel in the cabin free of charge. Assistance animals must be properly registered and recognised, and travel documentation must be provided from an approved and accredited organisation.

Emotional Support Animals

Valid documentation is required no more than one year from the date of your scheduled flight.

You will need to provide a headed letter from a licensed mental health professional including a medical doctor specifically treating the passenger’s mental or emotional disability. The letter must state the following:

That the passenger has a mental health related disability, recognised in the diagnostic and statistical manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition (DSMIV)
That the passenger needs the emotional support or psychiatric service animal as an accommodation for air travel and/or for activity at the passenger’s destination
That the individual providing the assessment is a licensed mental health professional and the passenger is under his or her professional care
The date and type of the mental health professional's license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued.

If you are travelling with an Emotional Support Animal, you should plan to check in for your flight at the airport one hour before the advertised check-in time, so that your documentation can be verified.

All of the above criteria must be provided to accept your emotional support or psychiatric service animal for travel in the passenger cabin free of charge. If all requirements are not met, the animal will travel as a pet in the cabin or cargo hold at the applicable rates.
