My wife and son will be travelling to the US next month on Delta Airlines from Guadalajara, and I'm hoping they can take two cats with them as carry-on baggage under the front seat. If the information I found below is correct, Mexican authorities and airline personnel will no longer object to taking pets aboard. But can anyone tell me what documents I'll need? They'll be flying to San Antonio. Do I need a health certificate dated no later than 5 days before the flight? Do they need proof of vaccinations? Help appreciated.
July 3, 2012 Update – United is Now Flying Pets – United Airlines has indeed re-implemented their pets in cabin policy as of today. I called to confirm, and the cost is $125 USD each way. I want to personally thank each and every one of you who called and emailed your complaints and concerns about the policy change. In basically one month, not only did the Mexican government revise their pet policy, but all the airlines re-implemented their policies to allow pets to fly in the cabin to/from Mexico as well.
