Has anyone traveled with a small dog on spirit airlines in the cabin to caribean?

Question

Dont want to leave him behind but want to make sure its not a problem also with airport once we land.

Answer 1

Not sure where you are flying, but many Caribbean countries may require a quarintine period. You may even need a health certificate dated within 2 weeks of travel from your vet.

Best bet is to contact 1st Spirit and then make sure you get the appropriate documents from the vet and also even see if that Island allows you to bring a pet

Traveling with Pets & Service Animals

Pets are defined as domesticated dogs, cats and birds only. The number of pets allowed in the cabin is subject to space availability. A fee of $85 USD each way per pet container is charged at check-in at the airport ticket counter. These fees cannot be prepaid prior to the day of departure.

Carry-On Pets

A maximum of 4 pet containers is permitted in the cabin on all domestic flights including San Juan, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas U.S.V.I.

The animal must be in a container subject to inspection and approval by Spirit. The passenger is responsible for assuring that the container meets all government requirements for safe and humane transport.

Dimensions of container must not exceed 18" length + 14" width + 9" height and must fit beneath the seat. Soft-sided containers are allowed in the cabin.

One or more similar animals may be in the same container so long as each pet is free to stand in an upright position and freely move about the container. Animals must remain in the container at all times while on board the aircraft.

NOTE: Effective January 8, 2008, The Free Associated State of Puerto Rico, prohibits the entry of domesticated or exotic birds to its territory after discovery of birds infected with the bird flu virus in the neighboring country of the Dominican Republic. Spirit Airlines will not transport any birds to/from Puerto Rico.

Checked Pets

Spirit Airlines does not transport pets in Cargo.
