Arrangements should be made well in advance of travel. Many destinations have restrictions on the types of pets accepted, and how these pets are transported into the country. Pets may not be allowed entrance, may only be accepted for certain modes of transport, or may require quarantines of up to six months. Violation of these restrictions can result in confiscation and even destruction of your pet. Destinations frequently visited, with such restrictions include Hawaii, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Manila, and Guam.
Restrictions can exist for other destinations as well.
Label with your name, address and phone number at origin and destination cities. It is also a good idea to include your pet's name. Temperature Restrictions Northwest personnel will determine if the weather temperatures are in acceptable ranges at time of check-in. If your pet cannot be accommodated due to temperature limitations, Northwest personnel will work with you to arrange alternate dates for your pet to travel. Always contact our Reservations office or Cargo office prior to departing for the airport.
