Pekingese Dog in Cabin Flight (US to Japan)

Hello everyone!

Just curious those who flew from the USA with their dog in cabin? I have a pekingese and there is no way health-wise / safety-wise I can have them checked.

I thought I was good to go, and that United does allow dogs in cabin from America to Japan as long as you strictly abide their carrier rules, but I just received conflicting information and now I'm worried I was incorrect in my research?

Just curious those who have flown with a small dog in-cabin, and what the experience was like?

I'll also call the airlines as well, but figured personal insight would be extremely helpful if possible. Thanks again!

Note: Very on top of the vet / rabies / quarantine / paperwork process.

Note: This answer from a prior thread is pretty aligned with what I found in my original research: https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtojapan/comments/ixdgle/comment/g66ngxp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Airlines Information I could find:

Update: After a two hour hold, I did speak with the airlines and they said the guidelines I linked above are correct and small dogs can fly in-cabin. But, if anyone can still share their personal experience, that would still be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
