    What??

    Pets are allowed to fly in cabin but not on long flights or in TRANSIT!! So, If you fly with them and your connection flight is in India, 1 hour, your pet will not be able to travel with you...And this info is not on their website, nor they have a logic answers...That is some absurd!
