Philippine Airlines’ (PAL) FurPAL program, which allows passengers to travel with their small dogs in-cabin, is now available on every domestic flight.

The service, classified as an add-on to a flight booking, is currently priced at P2,500 one-way.

“As the pioneer of pet air travel in the Philippines, PAL celebrates the unbreakable bond between people and their pets. This expansion helps more travelers enjoy seamless, safe, and memorable journeys with their beloved furpals,” the flag carrier said in a statement.

FurPAL was launched in November 2025 for top local destinations such as Boracay, Bohol, and Siargao.

To ensure every pet and fur parent enjoy a convenient and stress-free journey, PAL emphasizes the importance of following program guidelines.

Under the program, only small dog breeds weighing up to 10 kilograms, at least eight weeks old, and fully weaned are eligible for in-cabin travel.

Each passenger may bring one pet, with a maximum of three small dogs per flight.

All pets must be transported in a soft-sided, leak-proof carrier (maximum size: 17” x 11” x 9.5”) equipped with pee pads and at least two ventilation panels.

Pets must remain inside their carriers and placed under the seat in front of the passenger throughout the flight.

Health certificates and updated vaccination records are mandatory, along with a veterinary certificate, PAL waiver and declaration form, and shipping permit from the Bureau of Animal Industry.

Pet sedation is strictly not allowed, PAL said.

To ensure safety and comfort of all passengers, PAL said all flights feature hospital-grade HEPA filters, eliminating up to 99.99% of airborne particles, and cabins are meticulously cleaned with high-grade, eco-friendly agents before every flight.
