Find a Guinea Pig-Friendly Airline

Please note that this is simply a list of airlines and their preliminary yes/no policy. It does not include fees, restrictions, or other requirements for transporting guinea pigs, either in the cabin or the baggage hold. You must contact the airline in advance to organise their transport properly.

​Airlines marked with an asterick (*) have a policy that appears to include guinea pigs, but they have not yet responded to an enquiry to confirm it. Airlines with no policy and which have not yet responded to an enquiry are included in their own section below.

Please note that guinea pigs cannot travel into Australia or New Zealand.

Has an airline's policy changed since I made the list? Let me know.
