Here's what nobody tells you about flying EcoJet Bolivia: that cabin weight limit is a hard 7 kg, carrier included, and the counter agent will absolutely weigh you. I learned to respect the scale the hard way. Mochi, my French Bulldog, tips the balance closer than I'd like, so I pack featherlight and pray the bag doesn't betray me. Know your number before you show up smiling.
EcoJet Bolivia'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
- How many pets can I bring on EcoJet Bolivia?
- EcoJet Bolivia allows 1 in the cabin, per passenger. Each pet needs its own carrier.
- 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 don't wing it and hope for Italian charm to save you at the counter. Punch your real details into Pawgo's plan-builder and let it hand you a personalized plan for your exact route and pup. It flags the weight math, the paperwork, and the little gotchas that ruined my first attempt. Build the plan first, then travel like you meant to. Future-you, and a calmer queue, will thank you.
