Loong Air is one of those carriers where the pet policy rewards a careful reader. The details sit in the breakdown below, and the difference between a booked flight and a bounced one usually comes down to which line you skimmed past. I keep a printed copy in three places now, precisely because airlines like this one hide the decisive rule two clauses deeper than you expect.
Loong Air'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.
Luna disapproves of taxiing, but she approves of a trip where every requirement was checked twice before we left the flat. Read the Loong Air breakdown line by line, note what applies to your route, and confirm anything ambiguous directly with the airline. Then feed your actual dates and destination into Pawgo's plan-builder for a personalized plan that turns these rules into a checklist you can print and pack.
