Jeju Air (7C) is the South Korean low-cost carrier that runs intra-Asia routes from Seoul Incheon and Jeju. Their cabin pet program is functional but limited — small dogs and cats only, with strict weight caps. Nala once flew with me on a Korean route and I remember the boarding process being faster than longer carriers, mostly because the cabin manifest is checked at the gate rather than during boarding. The single decision is whether your pet meets the LCC weight limits.
7C'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 7C?
- 7C 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.
For Jeju Air: book the cabin pet slot through their customer service line at the same time as your ticket, confirm the carrier dimensions and combined weight meet their LCC standards (typically tighter than full-service carriers), and bring printed health documentation. If you have any layover involving another carrier, verify the pet rules separately for each leg. Build your plan against your departure date in Pawgo before booking — it confirms cabin slot capacity for your specific 7C flight.
