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.
LAM Mozambique takes pets in the cabin, in the hold and as cargo — three doors open, which is rarer than it sounds on this route. The cabin container tops out at 50 × 25 cm, so the decision is made by the bag, not by the dog. Nala would be a hold passenger here, and honestly that is fine.
LAM Mozambique'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.

LAM has to be told about the animal at booking, or at least 24 hours before departure. The notice covers the cabin, the hold and cargo, and it is what secures the space rather than the ticket itself. Declare the animal when the reservation is made, and ask for the confirmation reference that shows it.
Frequently asked
How far in advance must I book my pet on LAM Mozambique?
Add your pet to the booking at least 24 hours before departure — do it when you book the ticket, not at the airport.
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.
Measure the carrier first, declare the animal a day ahead, and the rest of a Mozambique trip comes down to the destination's paperwork rather than the airline's. Whatever the schedule says, add a buffer day at each end — arrivals here move. Give Pawgo your route and dates and it will build the personalized plan.
