Traveling with pets

Yes, you are allowed to bring pets. There are just a few things you need to bear in mind.

• Book a flight for you and your dog or cat online up to 24 hours in advance. You will then receive an email confirmation.
• The number of animals in the cabin is limited.
• Your pet must be kept in a crate during the flight. The crate must comply with IATA regulations and must not be larger than carry-on baggage.
• Combined, the crate and animal must weigh no more than 8 kg (17.6 lb). Animals that are heavier than this must be accommodated in the cargo hold.

Find all the details on our page dedicated to traveling with animals.

On direct flights, you can take pets with you in the aircraft cargo hold. However, there are only limited seats and specific rules.

• The animals must be in a special box that is safe and complies with IATA regulations.
• You have to specify the weight of the animal including the box, as well as the size of the box.
• You have to register the animal at least 48 hours before the flight.

If the connecting flight is a feeder or connecting flight (e.g. with Lufthansa or Alaska Airlines), unfortunately, animals cannot be transported in the cargo hold.
