Pets Reservation

Because Korean Air only admits a specific number of animals per each trip, they recommend that you reserve a spot for pet as early as the travel arrangements are finalized. To do so, call the Customer Service Department at (800) 438-5000. Furthermore, dogs are not permitted on international Boeing 737 flights.

Restrictions

Medium-sized dogs, cats, and birds are allowed to fly with Korean airlines. However, the pet must weigh under 7kg, including the weight of the carrier. Uncooperative or rowdy pets are not permitted.

Documents

Korean Airlines mandates that your dog, kitten, or even other pet be carried in a certified pet carrier or cargo cage, as well as a document of healthy life.

Your physician will verify that your furry companion is fit to fly and clear of illnesses that can be transmitted to people. Korean Airlines also needs you to give photocopies of any medical certifications as well as other documentation necessary by the destination country.

Service and emotional support animal

Under its policies, Korean Air will welcome assistance and moral support animals, otherwise known as ESA on their aircraft. All emotional support animals will require a note from a registered doctor on their authority indicating the need for the ESA. ESA owners should notify Korean Air well in anticipation of their trip.

Tips

  • Korean Air would do everything possible to accommodate travelers with pet allergens by assigning those rows away from other travelers with pets. Please keep in mind that seat changes are not assured and are dependent on available slots.
  • Travelers with pet allergies are generally advised to tell our employees of their health status at the time of booking and to complete the contract during check-in.
  • Always inform your physician ahead of time and have all required medications and an urgent care kit on hand. In the event of a crisis, you and your accompanied traveler have to be ready to execute any therapeutic procedures advised by your physician.
  • Travelers carrying an injectable for first care inside the aircraft should have a note from the doctor for safety reasons.
