Decisions before you book
Check the aircraft on each leg
This guide covers the ERJ 145 and Dornier 328 jet arrangement. Do not transfer its carrier measurements or acceptance answer to a Metro flight. Reconfirm pet arrangements if the aircraft changes.
Denver Air Connection — jet pet policyExpect a different baggage plan
For the jet arrangement, the carrier counts as carry-on and Denver says additional baggage must be checked, with applicable fees. Exit-row and bulkhead seats are excluded. Arrange pet space through the call center and allow extra check-in time.
