Pets on planes: Yes or no?
While pets have been allowed in a plane’s cargo hold for many years, Virgin Australia is set to allow them in the cabin with other passengers.
Small cats and dogs could be allowed in cabins on Virgin Australia flights within 12 months, if approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
There will be restrictions, with only small dogs and cats allowed on specific domestic routes. Pets will be restricted to a limited number of designated rows and will not be allowed to roam freely or sit on passengers’ laps.
They must also be carried in a Virgin Australia approved pet carrier under the seat in front of the pet’s owner for the duration of the flight.
