Let me save you the spreadsheet hours on this one: CityJet is a hard no for pets. Not in the cabin, not in the hold. Both doors are closed, which makes the research refreshingly short and the decision brutally simple. Luna disapproves of taxiing anyway, but she'd disapprove even more of not being allowed aboard at all. If CityJet was on your shortlist, it's time to redraw the routing.
CityJet'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.

Frequently asked
- What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
- If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
- What happens if I forget a document?
- At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
A zero-pet airline isn't a dead end so much as a redirect. The real question becomes which carriers on your actual route will take your companion, and that's a very answerable question. Skip the manual comparison and let Pawgo build a personalized plan around airlines that actually say yes. I keep a printed copy in three places now, but the plan does the sorting so you don't have to.
