Cabin limit and hold/cargo weight limits vary by route; verify dog + carrier or crate weight with the airline
Airline dog policy
Air Caraibes
Air Caraibes can be a useful option on France to Mexico routes such as Paris Orly to Cancun because its animal guidance allows dogs and cats in the cabin or hold, subject to approval. Before booking, confirm the exact route, aircraft, pet quota, dog weight, breed, carrier or crate size and destination documents directly with the airline.
Book early and confirm aircraft acceptance.
Under-seat dimensions can vary by aircraft.
Fees can change by region and currency.
Contact before booking
Confirm the dog booking directly with Air Caraibes.
Ask for written confirmation of the exact route, aircraft, dog weight, breed, carrier or crate size, fee and documents before paying.
Booking tip
Declare the dog when booking the passenger ticket and ask Air Caraibes to confirm the exact flight, aircraft, quota, cabin or hold pathway, carrier or crate size, dog weight, breed handling and Mexico entry paperwork before paying. For France to Mexico, confirm whether the operating flight is Air Caraibes itself, French Bee codeshare, or another partner, because the operating carrier controls pet acceptance.
Why it can work
Air Caraibes can be useful when it appears as a direct leisure-route operator from France to the Caribbean or Mexico because it publishes both PETC cabin and AVIH hold guidance. A confirmed direct operator can reduce connection complexity for eligible small dogs or approved hold travel, provided the airline and destination documents line up.
Restrictions
Dogs and cats are the animals accepted in the hold, subject to company approval. Cabin dogs must stay inside an approved soft bag under the seat and remain within the published weight limit. On transatlantic flights, Air Caraibes says snub-nosed dogs and cats are forbidden in the hold and FRET because of respiratory risk. Animals under 8 weeks old are not accepted, and required identity, health and rabies documents must be presented at check-in.
Dog-owner notes
Air Caraibes says animal transport must be requested at booking and authorized because quotas apply. Its published transatlantic cabin fee is €75 per trip and hold fee is €150 per trip, but fees and availability can change by route and market. Dogs entering or returning to the United States also need the current CDC checks; for Mexico routes, confirm SENASICA/OISA import checks and any transit-country documents separately.
Final check before paying
Confirm the exact aircraft, route, dog breed, carrier size, temperature rules and destination import law directly with the airline. A country can allow dogs while a specific airline or aircraft refuses them.
