Brachycephalic (Snub-Nosed) Breed Alert: Boston Terrier
Boston Terrier is classified as a Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breed prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) under cargo stress and heat. Qantas enforces a strict cargo/hold embargo on Boston Terriers.
💡 Select an airline allowing in-cabin pets (e.g., Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, Delta <= 8–9 kg) into an eligible cabin-friendly entry airport.
Qantas does not allow pets in the passenger cabin, and Qantas (Qantas Freight International Pets) enforces a strict Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) embargo in all cargo holds due to respiratory risk.
🌡️ Seasonal Temperature Advisory (December): Southern Hemisphere summer heat restrictions (Dec–Feb) and mandatory BOAS veterinary clearance/embargo on high-risk snub-nosed breeds.
