Notes to Travelers with Animal Allergies
- Korean Air will do its best to make accommodations for passengers with animal allergies by providing them with seats away from those of other passengers traveling with companion animals. Please note, however, that seat change is subject to seat availability and is not guaranteed.
- Passengers who have an animal allergy are strongly advised to inform our staff of their medical condition upon reservation and must also fill out the agreement during check-in.
- For your safety, please consult your doctor in advance and prepare the necessary medication and emergency medical kit. You and your accompanying passenger must be able to carry out any medical procedures prescribed by your doctor in the case of an emergency.
- Passengers bringing an injector for first aid into the cabin are required to have a doctor's letter for security reasons.
