Philippine Airlines officially opened its cabins to four-legged passengers starting on November 12, 2025, introducing the FurPAL Program that allows small dogs to travel with their owners to popular destinations, including Boracay, Bohol, and Siargao. 

The national carrier's pet-friendly initiative welcomes dogs weighing up to 10 kilograms that are at least eight weeks old and fully weaned. Each passenger can bring one pet, with flights accommodating a maximum of three small dogs per trip.

Pets must travel in soft-sided, leak-proof carriers measuring no more than 17 inches by 11 inches by 9.5 inches, which remain under the seat in front of the passenger throughout the flight.

“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,” explained PAL Vice President for Marketing Alvin Miranda.

The FurPAL Program addresses growing demand from Filipino pet owners who consider their dogs family members and previously had limited travel options. 

Beach-loving fur babies can now join their families on Boracay's white sand shores, explore Bohol's Chocolate Hills, or experience Siargao's island life without the stress of cargo travel or finding pet sitters.
