Traveling with pets

Earlier this year, restrictions were in place if you planned to travel with your pets. Service dogs were only allowed, and only with the proper paperwork in place. Now airlines have other requirements in place for those wanting to travel with their furry companions. Following are summaries for the three airlines operating out of Friedman Memorial airport with links for more detailed information. 

Alaska

The airline has a $100 fee and encourages you to call reservations at 1-800-252-7522 to make arrangements. If you are connecting via another airline, contact the airline directly to obtain fee information, policies, etc. There may also be restrictions in place depending on your destination. Space for pets traveling in the cabin or the cargo compartment is subject to availability.
