FIRST ON RADAR: Cats can now fly with their fur parents on PAL flights

Small cats are now allowed to travel in-cabin under PAL’s expanded FurPAL program

Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its FurPAL program to include cats, giving more pet owners the option to bring their companions into the aircraft cabin when traveling domestically.

The flag carrier said the expanded program now allows one small dog or cat to travel in-cabin on all domestic flights, subject to applicable requirements and guidelines. The one-way fee starts at ₱2,500.

PAL launched FurPAL nine months ago as an in-cabin service for small dogs. The program gave pet owners an option to keep their pets with them during domestic trips instead of having them travel separately.

With cats now included, FurPAL covers more types of household pets while retaining the limit of one pet per passenger.

The expanded service can be used for domestic trips ranging from leisure travel and visits to family and friends to reunions in other cities.

Details on booking requirements, pet travel guidelines and other program information are available through PAL’s official website and channels.
