Rejoice because the dog days aren’t over! South Africa’s newest airline LIFT continues to innovate with this dog-friendly flight offering, allowing customers to travel with their beloved furry best friend- however take note this is only for small breeds, so no, Ronald the Rottweiler cannot sit on your lap to Cape Town. Only your petite pooch(must be ten weeks old) can sit onboard in a pet-friendly carry bag placed under the seat in front of you.

NOTE: Your dog must be able to fit in a 28cm x 20cm x 45cm to ensure they fit under the seat. The cost of the dog-friendly booking (blocked-off seat) will be equal to the fare paid by the accompanying adult.

For those of you not fans of puppy love – only a limited number of dogs are allowed to travel on selected flights and customers travelling with their dogs will need to purchase an additional seat in a specific area of the cabin.

Bookings will need to be made at least 72 hours prior to departure and they need to have all veterinary health statements as well as up-to-date vaccination certificates.
