Pets

TACA does not accept live animals as checked baggage on any flights. Some animals (cats and dogs, including seeing-eye dogs) are accepted for transportation in the cabin. This costs $100 plus tax, unless the pet is carried in lieu of any other carry-on items, in which case there is no charge. Live animals are accepted as cargo on flights to and from Central America and South America only; for more information please see TACA CARGO.
