Azul Linhas Aéreas in-cabin pet policy — and the carriers that fit
Azul Linhas Aéreas allows small pets in the cabin in a carrier up to 16.9 × 12.4 × 7.8 in, stowed under the seat in front of you. Already own a carrier? Enter its measurements below to check it against this limit. The in-cabin fee is R$ 300–320 per segment on domestic and South America flights (Azul's page shows both figures). 0 of the 15 carriers we track clear that published limit.
That means no carrier on our list clears it outright — the closest is the Sherpa Original Deluxe (Small) (flexes — 0.7" over). Measure yours and expect an agent to check it. Azul Linhas Aéreas's 7.8" height ceiling sits mid-pack among the 77 airlines we track: Aegean, Air Canada, Air Europa and Air France allow more, while EL AL Israel allows only 7".

This table ranks by Azul Linhas Aéreas’s size limit — not by your pet. The weight under each carrier is what that size is rated to hold. A bag can clear the airline and still be the wrong size for the animal, which is the most common reason one goes back — measure your pet first →

How to confirm your actual under-seat space
Azul Linhas Aéreas's number is its published maximum, not a guarantee for your exact seat. Before you buy or fly:
- Check which aircraft operates your flight (in your booking or on a seat-map site).
- Avoid bulkhead and exit rows — bulkheads have no under-seat storage and most airlines ban pets there — and check this airline's seat rules above.
- Call Azul Linhas Aéreas to confirm under-seat dimensions for that aircraft, or
- Choose a collapsible / flexible-height carrier that adapts to a tighter space.
