Pets: Dogs, cats, and household birds (domestic Brazil flights only) allowed in-cabin for $125 (domestic) or $200 (international). Carrier must fit under the seat and counts as carry-on.

Infants (0–2 years):

Additional Notes

Purchase Options: Extra baggage can be bought via Azul’s website, app, call center, or airport. Prepaid baggage saves up to 50%. Purchases within 2 hours of departure must be made at the airport.

Lost/Damaged Baggage: Claims must be filed within 7 days. Azul is not liable for fragile items (e.g., electronics) in checked bags.

Enforcement: Carry-on weight checks are reportedly lax, especially on domestic flights, but stricter on full flights or international routes. Gate agents may require oversized bags to be checked.

Recommendation: Always verify details on Azul’s official website or contact customer service, as policies may change without notice. Pack within limits to avoid fees, and consider online check-in (available 72 hours to 90 minutes before departure) to streamline your experience.
