At Virgin we know and understand how important your furry friends are to you. That's why we have a dedicated team of staff to look after you and your 4 legged companions when you fly with Virgin.

We are committed to safe and comfortable pet travel and are able to carry dogs and cats on board our aircraft to the following destinations:



Paw print Barbados

Paw print JFK
Paw print Johannesburg

Exceptions do apply and we recommend that you check at time of booking. If you are planning on travelling with your pet, we do advise that you contact us first to check availability for your pet before booking your own flight.

All of our furry travellers are treated with extra special care; they travel in the cargo hold, which is heated and air-conditioned just like the cabin (please note that we cannot carry pets within the passenger cabin). Pets can also join the Flying Paws Club, where both the owner and pet can receive gifts; our way of saying thank you for choosing to fly with us.
