The cabin fee on Air Tanzania runs 250 USD one way for a dog traveling in the cabin. Budget 250 USD per direction, so a round trip means setting aside 500 USD for the pet fee alone. Pay it as an airline charge, separate from the ticket. Confirm the 250 USD amount at booking. Carry proof of payment to the gate.
