• Avelo charges $125 per pet carrier, each way.

• This fee is non-refundable (unless the flight is canceled by Avelo).

2. Can I buy a seat for my dog on Avelo Airlines?

• Avelo does not typically allow pets to occupy a seat; pets must stay in a carrier, and that carrier must be stowed under the seat in front of you.

• However, if you are traveling with a service animal plus a pet, you can purchase an additional non-refundable seat for the pet carrier, and place the carrier under the seat in front of that extra seat.

3. Does Avelo allow emotional support dogs?

• Avelo’s policy only recognizes trained service animals, not general emotional support animals (ESAs), for its “service animal” category.

• ESAs are treated under their regular pet policy, meaning they must pay the pet fee, be in a carrier, and follow the same rules as any cabin pet.

• Avelo allows small cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds to travel in the cabin.

• You can bring one pet carrier per person, and each carrier can hold up to two small animals.
