Conditions matter. These details describe a specific type of trip, not every Sun Country Airlines itinerary.

Small dogs are accepted within the contiguous 48 states.
Your dog stays in the carrier under the seat. Exit and bulkhead seats are unavailable.
What does it cost?
$75.00 each way · per pet
The help page lists $75 per direction when booked in advance.
Walk-up: $100 if space remains. Fees are non-refundable. The contract describes charging per segment; confirm the total for connecting trips.
Choosing a carrier

Hard-sided and soft-sided carriers are accepted; soft-sided is recommended.
One pet per carrier. It must be ventilated, leak-proof and fit under the seat with room for your dog to move.
Reserve a place for your dog
Ask the Reservations team to reserve pet space in advance.
The help page limits each flight to six pets; only one pet per ticketed traveler.
Minimum age

Confirm puppy eligibility and destination requirements before booking.

Decisions before you book
Telephone reservation and an eligible seat
Rule 200 of the reviewed contract says pet reservations are made by telephone with a reservations agent. Exit-row and bulkhead seats are excluded. Reserve the pet space and confirm the seat together rather than relying only on an online passenger ticket.
Sun Country — contract, Rule 200Ask for a total covering your connections
The contract describes a fee per segment and includes the carrier in the regular carry-on allotment. The fee wording noted in the main guide needs clarification for connections. Ask for the full pet charge and remaining bag allowance in the same call.
Sun Country — contract, Rule 200Use the answers for the route and operating flight you will actually take. A different cabin, aircraft or connection can change the result.
