HR 3384 United States House · 118th Congress

Better Foreign Policy Through Better Pet Policy Act

This bill amends the Fly America Act to allow U.S. federal employees, dependents, and Peace Corps volunteers to use foreign airlines for transporting up to three domesticated animals (dogs or cats) when no U.S. carrier is willing or able to provide that service. It requires that the cost paid to the foreign airline not exceed what a U.S. carrier would charge for the same transport, with the traveler covering any difference if the foreign airline is cheaper. The provision applies only to pet transportation during travel between locations outside the U.S., or to/from the U.S., and does not change general travel requirements. It directly affects federal personnel traveling with pets who face limited U.S. carrier options.
