Okay, Kam Air fans, here's the good news: this airline lets dogs ride in the cabin, and that alone changes how you plan the whole trip. Cabin access means your pup stays with you instead of vanishing into a cargo hold, which is the difference between a stressful flight and a great one. Nala has opinions about layovers, and 'in the cabin' is always her opening argument.
Kam Air'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.

Cabin travel with a dog on Kam Air requires a health certificate. Book a veterinary appointment early enough to have that certificate issued and signed before departure, with the pet's microchip number recorded on it. Confirm the issue-date window the destination accepts, since many certificates expire fast. Carry the signed original at check-in, not a phone photo.
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.
Kam Air gives you real options, cabin or hold, but options only help once you match them to your actual dog, route, and paperwork deadlines. That's the part worth nailing down before you book anything. Drop your trip into Pawgo's plan-builder and let it turn all these moving pieces into one clean, personalized plan. Then grab more water than you think you need and go have the adventure.
