Here are the Bangkok Airways guidelines for the pets that are traveling with the passengers. Here are the major highlights that you must keep in mind before taking your pet.

• At the time of check-in for your pet, you need to show relevant documentation to the floor coordinator, including the health and vaccination certificate given by a certified pet doctor. 

Guidelines for your pet carrier.

Can I carry my pet in the cabin on Bangkok Airways?

No, Bangkok Airways has temporarily suspended the carriage of pets in the cabin, so if you are willing to travel with your pet with Bangkok Airways, then the available option right now is either checked baggage or through cargo service. 

Is there any fee for carrying my pet on Bangkok Airways?

Yes, there will be a pet-carrying fee that each traveler must have to pay at the time of adding their pet to the flight ticket. Since you can carry it with you in the cabin, the carriage will apply as excess baggage, and fees will be charged according to the excess baggage policy.

Do I have to inform Bangkok Airways about the carriage of my pet?

Yes, if you are carrying your pet, it is important to inform Bangkok Airways about your pet at least 24 hours before departure. If you want to reserve a carriage for your pet, you will need to go through some paperwork, forms, and instructions. Here, the Bangkok Airways reservation team will help you with that, so please contact them and get assistance.
