Yes, as nemom says, you NEED to let the airline know ahead of time. We made arrangements for Yoda to go with his Mommy to California next month. When you make a reservation, put the reservation on HOLD. Then call up the airline you are travelling with, and tell them you have a 7 pound dog that you will be bringing along.
They will verify if it is okay or not. If it is okay, then go back and pay for your reservation that is on hold.
If you have a carrier that fits underneath the seat, that will be fine to transport your Yorkie. I have no idea on if you need to keep the Yorkie in the carrier or not during the flight. I suggest bringing some snacks and treats for your Yorkie as well as a toy, to try to keep them occupied.
For Alaska Airlines, it is a $75 charge each way for Yoda, and that is to be paid during check-in the day of the flight. |
