Animals
Pets
To ensure humane treatment of animals, Direct Air shall not transport ANY animal in the checked luggage compartment of its aircraft.

Direct Air may refuse to transport any animal that:
  • Is inadequately kenneled
  • Exhibits aggressive or violent behavior
  • Shows symptoms of illness.
 
Additionally, Direct Air shall not transport any animal that does not accompany a ticketed passenger.

Travelling with your Pet
  • Direct Air permits a maximum of 3 pets to travel in the passenger compartment of the aircraft with a ticketed passenger.
  • Due to seating restrictions, advance arrangements for pet carriage must be made by calling 1-877-432-DIRECT.
  • A "pet" is defined as a small dog or cat only. Other animals will not be accepted for carriage under the pet policy.
  • Passengers wishing to transport "pets" must present documentation, signed by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days of the date of travel, stating that the "pet" has had all required vaccinations and is in a reasonably healthy condition for air travel.
  • Direct Air charges a fee of $75.00 per "pet", per flight segment for this service.
  • To minimize the risk of bringing allergen-sensitive individuals into contact with animals, passengers with "pets" shall be seated in the aft four rows of the aircraft.

Pet Carriers

  • "Pets" must be contained in an FAA-approved pet carrier capable of being stowed under the seat in front of the ticketed passenger.
  • The pet carrier shall count as the ticketed passenger’s piece of carry-on luggage.
  • The pet carrier must not exceed 42" overall dimensions (L + W + H = 42")
  • The "pet" must remain in the carrier at all times between boarding and deplaning.
  • The "pet" must be able to fit comfortably within its carrier—that is, it should be able to stand, and to turn about within its carrier.

Service Animals

  • Per Federal disability guidelines, no limitations are placed upon carriage of qualified "service animals" for the disabled in the passenger compartment.
  • Direct Air does not charge a fee for the carriage of "service animals" in the passenger compartment of its aircraft
  • "Seeing-eye dogs" are the most common type of "service animal". Although uncommon, service monkeys may also be qualified as a "service animal"
  • One "service animal" may accompany a ticketed passenger, regardless of disability status—for example, with a trainer or handler.
  • Advance reservations are not required for the carriage for "service animals". However, passengers are encouraged to call Reservations at 1-877-432-DIRECT with any questions in advance of booking.
  • ID tags, appropriate leashes, or original documentation from a training institute may serve as proof of "service animal" status.
  • "Service animals" must not obstruct aisles or exit rows.
  • "Seeing eye dogs" should, whenever possible, occupy bulkhead rows.
  • Note: Psychiatric, emotional, comfort animals, etc., require documentation in order to travel in the cabin as a service animal. Please see link below for more information.
