Etihad Airways has introduced a limited-time promotional offer for its Pets Onboard service, allowing guests to travel with their cats and dogs in the aircraft cabin at a reduced rate, while maintaining its standards of care, comfort and safety.
The offer, available until 31 May 2026, enables guests who book and travel within the period to use the Pets Onboard service for $399 per flight segment. The offer aims to enhance accessibility as demand rises for pet-inclusive travel options.
Based in Abu Dhabi, Etihad remains the only airline in the UAE offering guests the option to travel with pets in the cabin. The airline said the service continues to evolve in response to increasing demand from travelers wishing to fly with their pets.
To ensure consistent comfort standards, pets must travel in an approved carrier throughout the flight. In Economy Class, the carrier can be placed under the seat in front, while passengers seeking more space may purchase an additional seat for their pet. In Business Class, pets are accommodated with an extra seat, providing additional room and safety.

“For many of our guests, pets are part of the family, and we understand how important it is to travel together. The service allows small cats and dogs to travel in the aircraft cabin alongside their owners, helping reduce stress for pets while allowing guests to keep their pets close throughout the journey. By making our Pets Onboard service more accessible, we hope to welcome even more guests travelling with their pets while continuing to offer the warmth, care and peace of mind that define the Etihad experience.”
The airline said dedicated teams support passengers travelling with pets by assisting with travel preparations and coordinating necessary requirements ahead of departure, ensuring a smooth experience.
The promotional campaign with Pets Onboard service reflects Etihad’s continued focus on enhancing guest-centric services, with an emphasis on convenience and overall travel experience.
