Skymark Airlines caught my eye for a reason worth flagging up front: dogs are not accepted in the cabin, full stop. Nala rides everywhere with me, so that single rule reshaped our whole approach to this route. If your travel dog is a big adventure hound like mine, you need to know that going in. Let's get into how Skymark actually handles four-legged passengers so you can move with total confidence.

Skymark 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.
