I made a spreadsheet for Aerolineas Argentinas and the first column is the cabin weight limit: 9 kg for the animal and carrier combined. Luna disapproves of taxiing, but she disapproves even more of a carrier that fails the scale at the gate. Weigh first, book second, and keep a printed copy of the rule in three places.

Aerolineas Argentinas's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Aerolineas Argentinas directs travellers to contact it through WhatsApp up to 72 hours before the flight to review the service conditions and pay. Message the airline far before that cutoff, with the booking reference ready. Treat 72 hours as the latest possible moment, not the target. Keep the WhatsApp confirmation of the payment with the booking documents.
The airline's cabin rules name specific dog breeds, starting with Akita Inu, American Staffordshire Terrier and Bullmastiff. Open the full breed list on the airline's page and compare it with the breed on the vet record and the microchip paperwork before paying for the ticket. Ask the airline in writing if the breed is unclear.
Aerolineas Argentinas is a clean row in the spreadsheet once the weight, the 72-hour contact and the breed list are checked. The remaining blanks depend on your route and dates, and a half-empty row is how surprises reach the airport. Build your personalized plan with Pawgo for your actual trip, and the missing cells get filled before you pay. I like my columns complete.
