Virgin has announced that it plans to allow small cats and dogs on some domestic flights in the future. A&AA understand that these pets will need to be kept in a pet carrier that fits under the seat in front of the pet owner and will only be in certain rows of selected flights. More information can be found on the Virgin website Virgin Pet travel. If you have an allergy to cats and/or dogs, we recommend you consider whether you are comfortable travelling with Virgin once pets are allowed. Speak with your GP or allergy specialist about a treatment plan for travelling with cats/dogs on flights. If animals will be on your flight you may wish to take medication such as antihistamines prior to the flight. Make sure you have taken preventative nasal corticosteroid sprays or asthma inhalers leading up to the flight and always have asthma reliever inhalers with you and easily accessible (not in check-in luggage) on the flight.
