Animals over six months are permitted to travel in the cabin with GOL if the combined weight of the pet and carrier does not exceed 22 lbs (10 kg). Pets traveling in the cabin incur a charge of $70 on domestic flights and $170 on international flights. This service is not available on flights with GOL partner airlines.

Cats and dogs weighing more than 22 lbs (10 kg) and less than 66 lbs (30 kg) can be transported as checked baggage in an exclusive compartment for pets. Animals should be clean, healthy, and free of any unpleasant odor. Pets traveling as checked baggage incur a charge between R$ 650-800.
