Airlines that allow parrots?

[Sunnyclover]

I looked for a list of airlines that allow parrots to travel in the cabin with you and I had a hard time finding one. Most only allow cats and dogs. I was hoping someone here had a list they could share with me. I want to take my baby on vacation!!!! I bought a Pack "o" Bird and I intend on using it. I would also like to know what kind of documents I would need if anyone knows or how to register my bird or if you need to register a bird. I didn't get that many papers from the pet shop so I have no idea when or how to register her. Help! My trip I am planning isn't till August so time is on my side.

Where are you planning to travel to and from? That makes a big difference.

NYC to Walla, Walla Washington.

Be prepared for multiple stops from the NYC area to Walla Walla, as your destination has only limited service by smaller aircraft. A quick look online revealed a few itineraries with just one change of aircraft, but many require two. Best bet is to depart either JFK or Newark as both airports have non-stop service to Seattle, while La Guardia does not due to the short runways. Bottom line it will be a long day!

United permits parrots in the cabin with the exception of cockatoos! I fly for United and was shocked to learn this. https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/animals/in_cabin.aspx

A quick read suggests AA only permits dogs or cats in the cabin. No specific mention of birds.

The above sites give specific guidance for carrier size, restrictions, and fees.

United airlines allows non-cockatoos. As long as they can fit in a carry on sized bag. Thought they don't allow any carry on animals if you're catching a connecting flight if I remember correctly
