Pets in the Cabin

Qatar Airways allows you to carry 1 falcon in the economy class cabin of an aircraft (a maximum of 6 falcons are permitted on each aircraft and country regulations may apply), but no pet dogs or cats are permitted in the cabin. Qatar Airways allows some pets to travel as checked baggage instead.

Pets in Checked Baggage

Qatar Airways accepts domesticated dogs, cats, and birds as checked baggage, either on your flight or separately. When connecting to a Qatar Airways flight from another airline, pets must travel separately as cargo and will not be accepted as excess baggage. The cost of transportation depends on the weight and size of the animal and carrier. Small to medium pets and carriers weighing up to 70 lbs (32 kg) to/from Qatar cost $200 and on all other routes, $350; large dogs between 70 lbs (32 kg) and 165 lbs (75 kg) to/from Qatar cost $300 and on all other routes, $450.

Pets in Cargo

Pets exceeding 165 lbs (75 kg) can be handled as cargo instead. Large dog owners can email Qatar Airways Cargo at askcargo@qatarairways.com.qa for more details. Alternatively, you can contact them directly at 404-761-0600.
