West Air Co., Ltd. (西部航空) pet policy: flying with a dog or cat
Cabin
Not allowed
The carrier's rule+
- West Air genuinely has an in-cabin pet program ('Pet Travel Peace of Mind', dogs/cats/rabbits/turtles/birds etc. — our schema only supports dog/cat), but the coverage is stated vaguely: 'domestic non-stop flights only' — no named route list is published (potentially hundreds of pairs), so allowed=false is kept instead of guessing routes_only.
- Max 6 pets per flight (except pet-group/charter flights), max 1 pet per passenger (no limit for service dogs).
- Booking via hotline 95373 no later than 24 hours before departure (or via the Hainan Airlines app 24h-7 days ahead), passenger must arrive at the airport with the pet and a compliant hard/soft carrier no later than 2 hours before departure.
- Carrier: hard-sided max 36x30x20 cm; soft-sided may exceed slightly when unfolded but must compress to fit the same 36x30x20 cm under the front seat.
- Official price per the document is CNY 1430 per segment per pet.
- State news agency Xinhua (2026-05-17) reported West Air launching in-cabin pet service on INTERNATIONAL routes, but the airline's own official document (file last updated 2026-07-10, after the Xinhua article) still explicitly restricts the service to 'domestic non-stop flights'. The discrepancy is unresolved — the T0 document wins, but verify_recommended=true.
Hold
Not allowed
The carrier's rule+
- The official westair.cn site only describes the in-cabin pet program ('Loving Pet Cabin Care'); no separate checked-baggage/cargo-hold pet program was found on the airline's own domain despite a targeted search.
- West Air, like other HNA Group carriers, may simply not offer this service — but no explicit T0 statement 'we do not carry pets as cargo' was found, so confidence on this block is medium with verify_recommended=true rather than high.
