• They are manufactured with plastic materials, synthetic or welded mesh, and are resistant to bites or scratches.
• They have only one door made of metal, heavy wire mesh or any other reinforced material. The door has a secure lock so that it cannot be opened accidentally.
• They have adequate ventilation, but with sufficiently narrow openings so that the nose, legs, or tail of your pet cannot stick out from the cage and your pet does not get hurt.
• They have leak-proof floors which prevents urine or feces from leaking to the exterior.

• The pet must travel on the same flight as its owner.
• Through your entire flight and transfers, your pet cannot leave its cage.
• Pets checked in as baggage have some restrictions when traveling onboard our Embraer 190. If this is your case, you will receive further information at our check-in counters.
• During your pet transportation, only one balanced feed serving will be allowed for your flight-arrival day.
• Take into account the temperatures and/or forecasts surrounding the origin, transit, and destination airports. If the temperature is higher than 30°C and lower than 7°C, we will not accept your pet as checked-in luggage. We follow these measures to protect the health of your pet. In case they are not admitted in the flight, we will reassign you in the next flight available and it will be subject to change.
