Legacy carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is improving the travel experience for pet lovers by launching a new in-flight service called FurPAL, which allows passengers to bring their small dogs in-cabin on flights to popular destinations like Boracay, Bohol, and Siargao.
This service will begin taking reservations on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, with travel period beginning on December 1, 2025 for only P2,500 one-way base fare.
“As the first mover in pet air travel in the Philippines, we recognize the unbreakable bond between people and their beloved pets. With FurPAL, we are making it more convenient for them to take a vacation with their pets and create unforgettable memories together,” said PAL Vice President for Marketing Alvin Miranda.
He added that PAL is taking a thoughtful step-by-step approach to welcoming pets on board.
“We are initially offering this service for small dogs, and can expand to other dog sizes and pet types depending on aviation security and safety regulations,” Miranda added.
Booking a FurPAL flight is as easy as ‘choose, click, and confirm.’ Simply select a FurPAL-eligible flight to Boracay, Bohol, or Siargao on the Philippine Airlines website.
On the Travel Boost page, click FurPAL to include your beloved pet in your booking. Confirm your flight details, settle the payment, and you’re all set to fly in comfort and style, together with your fur baby.
To ensure every passenger’s safety and convenience, stringent restrictions and requirements will be observed. Only small dog breeds weighing up to 10 kg, at least eight weeks old, and fully weaned are eligible for the service. Each passenger may bring one pet, with a limit of three small dogs allowed per flight.
PAL also imposes a strict rule on pet carriers. They should be soft-sided, leak-proof, and equipped with pee pads and two ventilation panels. The pet carriers should have a maximum size of 17” x 11” x 9.5.” During the flight, the pet must remain inside the carrier, placed under the seat in front of the passenger.
Health certificates and vaccinations are also mandatory, and pet sedation is not allowed. The fur parents must present a veterinary certificate, vaccination card, the PAL waiver and declaration form, and shipping permit form issued by the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Passengers can be assured that all PAL flights are equipped with hospital-grade High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, which eliminate up to 99.99% of airborne particles. All cabin surfaces are also disinfected with high-grade, eco-friendly cleaning agents before every flight.
