Etihad Pet Travel UAE Launches USD 399 In-Cabin Offer

Etihad Airways has introduced a new limited time offer allowing passengers in the UAE to travel with their pets in the cabin for USD 399 per flight segment. The updated pricing applies to cats and dogs and is valid for bookings and travel until May 31, 2026, offering a more affordable option for pet owners flying from Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.

The move is expected to benefit residents and expats who are increasingly choosing to travel with their pets, whether for relocation or holidays. With more people searching for reliable pet travel options in the UAE, this offer provides a practical solution for those looking to avoid cargo transport and keep their pets with them during the flight. 

The cost applies per flight segment and makes in-cabin travel more accessible compared to earlier pricing, which could vary widely based on route and availability. A clearer and more consistent price point can help UAE based travellers plan their pet’s journey with better cost visibility.

Etihad continues to stand out as one of the few airlines in the region that allows pets to travel inside the cabin, making it a preferred choice for those looking for pet-friendly airlines in the UAE. This is especially relevant for expat families relocating from the UAE, where airline policies often play a key role in deciding how and when pets can be moved internationally.

Demand for flying with pets from the UAE has been rising steadily, alongside increased interest in pet relocation services, documentation support, and international travel requirements. Changes like this not only improve accessibility but also reduce the complexity involved in planning a pet’s journey abroad.

Passengers are advised to review airline guidelines before booking, including approved carriers, vaccination records, and country-specific entry rules. Since the offer is available only until May 2026, travellers planning to fly with pets from the UAE may benefit from booking early to secure the reduced fare.
