Rules about travelling by air with animals

Each airline sets its own rules about taking animals on air trips, but generally speaking the airlines allow small pets such as dogs and cats to accompany passengers into the aircraft, provided they are inside an animal travelling case. Normally this travelling case must not exceed the maximum dimensions and weights permitted for hand baggage. Please contact your airline to find out what rules apply to your flight.

The number of animals on board may be limited

Remember that airlines usually charge an extra fee for allowing an animal to travel inside the aircraft. It is also important to inform the airline at the time of booking that you will be bringing the animal on board, since the number of animals permitted on each flight is generally limited. Larger animals can sometimes be transported as air cargo, in compliance with special regulations. Please contact your airline to find out what rules and charges apply.
