Rabbit-friendly airlines

From WabbitWiki

Here is a list of known rabbit-friendly airlines around the world with relevant information. These airlines may allow rabbits in either the cabin, as checked baggage, or in cargo.

This may not be a complete or up-to-date list. Please also do your own research before booking a flight with your rabbit. See International Import Regulations for Pet Rabbits for additional information on regulations for international travel. Some countries may not allow rabbits to be in the cabin or checked in as baggage. See Rabbit-Friendly Transportation Agencies if you are unable to find an airline that will allow you to transport your rabbit with you.

When flying with your rabbit, please make sure you use an airline-approved carrier. All flights will have a limited number of kennels allowed for in-cabin and checked baggage, so call the airlines to reserve space for your pet as soon as possible.
