Let me save you the spreadsheet on this one: PSA Airlines is a quick entry in my comparison file, because there's no cabin option to weigh. When an airline doesn't take pets in the cabin, the analysis gets refreshingly short — you cross it off and move to the next row. Still worth understanding why, and what it means for connecting itineraries where PSA flies a regional leg.

PSA Airlines'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

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 PSA is a 'no' column in the pet-travel spreadsheet — but a 'no' on one carrier rarely ends the trip. The right connection or a different operator on the same route often reopens the door. Luna disapproves of taxiing, but she'd approve of skipping dead-end bookings. Feed your route into Pawgo's plan-builder and let it map a workable, personalized plan around the airlines that actually carry pets.
