DALLAS – It’ll soon cost more to take your pet with you when you fly on Southwest Airlines.

The airline is citing higher costs in raising its pet fee to $95 per flight from $75, beginning with flights Jan. 15.

Southwest Airlines lets passengers take a vaccinated dog or cat that fits in a carrier that goes under an airline seat. Pets are taken on a first-come basis, up to six per flight.

Southwest charges less for the service than many other carriers. United, Delta, American and US Airways all charge $125 each way; JetBlue charges $100.
