Syrian Arab Airlines will carry pets in the hold, which immediately sends me to my spreadsheet, because cargo travel is where the fine print does its worst work. Hold transport means temperature thresholds, crate specs, and booking lead times that reward the prepared. Luna disapproves of taxiing, but she disapproves of surprises more, so I read every cargo clause twice before committing.
Syrian Arab 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.

Cabin policy
Hold & cargo policy
Hold transport carries a temperature limit: pets are not accepted in the cargo hold once conditions reach 4 °C. Check the forecast for departure, connection, and arrival airports before booking hold transport. Build the itinerary around cooler travel windows, and hold a backup date in case the 4 °C threshold rules out the original flight.
Cargo policies look simple until you line up the temperature rule, the crate requirements, and the booking deadlines side by side, which is exactly the kind of comparison worth doing before you pay for anything. Pawgo's plan-builder assembles those pieces for your specific route and dates, so you get one clear plan instead of fourteen browser tabs. Build yours, print a copy, and travel with the numbers settled.
