Flying with a pet

 

If you wish to fly with your animal, please inform your airline when purchasing your flight ticket. The presence of pets is subject to the airline’s prior approval.

Pets usually travel in the hold, which is is a ventilated, pressurized and heated place. Your pet's cage will be kept there to remain stable and will travel with respect of airline regulations.

Warning! These cages are not for sale in the airport and must be purchased in advance.

 

Any animal (dog, cat...) travelling in the European Union must be identified, vaccinated against rabies and be holder of a European passport duly completed by a vet.

Your pet’s health card must be up to date, don't forget to bring it with you.

 

Some airlines do not accept any animals in the cabin, except for guide dogs which are accepted in European Union airports and third party airports with the European Union as a destination as long as the transporter is from a member state. However, some companies accept animals under conditions. Please see the table below.
