I sorted every carrier by whether they'd take a four-legged passenger, and IndiGo landed in the strictest column of my spreadsheet: no dogs in the cabin, full stop. Luna would file a formal complaint if I tried this route. When an airline shuts one door, it usually shuts the rest, so read the details below before you assume any workaround exists. Preparation beats disappointment at the gate every single time.

The numbers here are unambiguous, and unambiguous is my favorite kind of number. When a carrier says no across the board, your energy is better spent comparing airlines that actually welcome your dog. Feed your exact route, dates, and pet details into Pawgo's plan-builder and let it assemble a personalized plan around carriers that will fly you both. A good plan turns a hard no into a clear next step you can book with confidence.
