Selected Hainan-operated domestic non-connecting Economy flights only. Underseat soft carrier: 40 × 38 × 25 cm when compressed; extra-seat carrier: 60 × 40 × 35 cm. At most two pets per passenger, including at most one extra-seat pet; flight capacity is four on narrowbody or six on widebody aircraft.

Selected official conditions only, for the operating airline and the direction, aircraft, service and dates stated in each rule. A mode tab may contain a prohibition or unresolved condition; it does not grant carriage. Obtain actual pet space approval and origin/transit/destination clearance separately. Assistance animals, commercial movement and unlisted services need separate assessment.

Rules depend on the route, animal and operating carrier. Confirm your own journey with the relevant authority and airline.

Applicable conditions

No pets under eight weeks, pregnant, recently giving birth or operated within 48 hours, ill or sedated. Listed dangerous breeds and Samoyeds are excluded. Keep pets sealed in the net-covered carrier with diaper and clothing; dogs wear a muzzle. Official English breed and vaccination-date examples contain inconsistencies; clarify affected cases rather than treating them as exemptions.
