The Walking ClubShort answer: often yes, but it takes planning. Rules differ by airline and by country, and not every dog is a good flyer.
The AKC says to be aware of the airline's requirements before your vet visit, and to ask your vet whether your dog is healthy enough to fly. It suggests nonstop flights where possible, to reduce stress on your dog. VCA also has a page on air travel with dogs.
Let your dog get used to the carrier well before the trip, with treats and calm time in it, the same way you would for a first car ride. Plan toilet breaks before the flight.
Keep ID on your dog and keep microchip details up to date. See when a dog won't eat while traveling.
Ask your vet about your dog's health, and ask the airline for its current rules.
