Transport of animals

Transport of animals weighing up to 8 kg

You may carry one small pet in the cabin in a closed, approved carrier. The maximum weight of the pet and its carrier is 8 kg. The dimensions of the carrier must not exceed 115 cm. 

Your pet must be at least 15 weeks old and have up-to-date vaccinations.

As the number of animals on board is limited, we recommend that you make arrangements for this when booking your ticket. 

 

Travelling with brachycephalic animals in the cabin:

Brachycephalic animals, such as pugs, bulldogs, boxers, Pekingese, Shih Tzus and Persian cats, may experience breathing difficulties when under stress. Seek advice from your vet before travelling by air.

Please note: your pet’s head must not protrude from the carrier; your pet shop or vet will be able to advise you. Under no circumstances may your pet leave its carrier at any point during the flight.

As your pet is not included in your free allowance for this journey, you may pay a flat fee of €50.00 per journey, which must be booked and paid for before your departure.
