They can go in the cargo hold, however, in a cage. I know because we once spent $400 to ship a guinea pig...
That's why I asked for AVIH (live animal in hold), but some airlines don't even allow rabbits in the hold either (OU, maybe JP...)
He's now with my wife in the UK, and she's coming back end of month. When taking him there, freight companies (specialized in pet transport) asked for 1000-1200 Euros to take him as manifested cargo o_O So I flew him to BRU, and drove the rest of the way
Oh, stories I could tell you about flying animals and airline regulations and clueless agents...
