About this guide ↓
This guide was generated by Pawgo's AI using verified data from official sources. Jules is a fictional persona — the data is real.
Real talk from someone who travels with a 22kg dog: Eastar Jet is a cabin-pet airline, which is great news if your travel buddy is pocket-sized and rough news if they're Nala-sized. Small dogs and cats can ride up front; a big blue-merle Aussie cannot. Nala has opinions about layovers, and an even louder opinion about not fitting under a seat.
Eastar Jet'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.
So Eastar Jet is a yes for the little ones and a redirect for the big ones. If your dog clears the cabin size, this is a straightforward option; if not, it's time to plan around a carrier with a hold. Either way, Pawgo can map the route and match the airline to your actual dog. Sam and I never leave that to guesswork.
