Small dogs and cats in the passenger cabin
One small cat or dog may be carried with you in the passenger cabin, provided it is placed in a secure, leak-proof transport container. The combined weight of the animal and container must not exceed 8 kilos, with max. dimensions of 55x40x23 cm for easy stowage under the seat. Please bring your own transport container!
Larger animals in the cargo hold
Animals that cannot be transported in the passenger cabin will be carried in our air-conditioned, heated cargo hold. Please provide your own appropriately sized, approved transport container and notify us in advance of dimensions and weight so we can make sure enough space is available!
