Pets Barred from Air Canada Flights as of mid-July
It's bad news for pet owners hoping to travel with their furry friends this year. Air Canada has decided to stop allowing pets on board its aircraft as checked luggage as of July 15.

Really, crappy news for those of you who travel with your pets. I've travelled with my dog a few times and feel much better knowing she's on the same plane with me, in the baggage compartment, than on a whole other plane, alone.
Good news is, WestJet still allows pets to travel in the baggage compartment. With the huge number of people who travel with pets, I think this might hurt Air Canada more than they suspect.
