Fly PETS Act

S 2193, the Fly PETS Act, allows U.S. federal employees and their dependents to use foreign airlines for in-cabin or checked pet transport (dogs or cats) when no U.S. airline is available to carry up to three animals. This exception applies to travel between the U.S. and overseas locations or entirely overseas, directly affecting federal personnel traveling with pets. The bill requires that costs using a foreign carrier not exceed what a U.S. carrier would charge, with the traveler covering any difference if the U.S. rate is lower. It amends the Fly America Act to provide this specific exception for pet travel under defined circumstances.
