Here's what I wish someone had told me about Sky Airline Chile: the price of bringing your dog isn't fixed - it depends entirely on when you book the pet slot. That single timing choice quietly decides what you pay, and it's the kind of detail that's easy to miss until checkout. We've all been there, clicking through a booking flow assuming the add-ons can wait.

Sky Airline Chile'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.

How Sky Airline Chile handles your pet

Key points

  • Minimum age: a pet must be at least 12 weeks (3 months) old to fly with SKY, and SKY sets no maximum age
  • Sedation: SKY does not accept sedated pets, and will refuse boarding at check-in if a pet is found to be under sedatives or medication that affects its condition
  • Snub-nosed breeds: brachycephalic pets travel in the cabin only, after you sign SKY's liability letter (Carta de Responsabilidad), and are not carried in the hold
  • Pets SKY will not carry in the hold: violent or sick animals, pregnant females and females in heat
  • Potentially dangerous breeds: not carried in the hold once over 9 months old, crossbreeds with similar characteristics included
  • Hold kennel: at most 230 linear cm (length plus width plus height), secured with two metal security seals or a padlock and chain
  • Pets as cargo: SKY refers shipments of unaccompanied pets to its freight arm, SKY Carga, at cargo.skyairline.com, and states no rules for it in its reply
  • Assistance dogs: travel in the cabin free of charge, with no breed restriction and no muzzle, wearing the official "Perro de Asistencia" identifier; request the service when you buy the ticket or in Mis Viajes at least 48 hours before the flight
  • Where these rules come from: SKY's Customer Service confirmed them in writing on 12 October 2026

Sky Airline Chile charges 49 USD for a dog in the cabin when the service is added at the moment the ticket is purchased. Adding it afterward online raises the price to 60 USD. Book the pet slot in the same transaction as the flight to lock the lower 49 USD rate, and avoid paying the 11 USD gap for waiting.
Cooper has taught me that the cheapest version of any trip is the one you set up correctly the first time. With Sky Airline Chile, that means adding the cabin pet slot upfront and reading the breakdown before you commit. Drop your route and dates into Pawgo's plan-builder and it will turn all of this into a clear, personalized plan for your dog's actual flight.
