Eligibility and route restrictions

Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage

This selected small-animal service is checked hold only, not cabin; animals younger than six months are refused. Pet carriers whose three-side sum exceeds 203 cm cannot be checked; the page recommends independent freight for those cases without guaranteeing cargo acceptance. One small animal per crate. Existing 32 kg combined, direct operating-flight and advance-approval limits also apply.

Selected official conditions only, for the operating airline and the direction, aircraft, service and dates stated in each rule. A mode tab may contain a prohibition or unresolved condition; it does not grant carriage. Obtain actual pet space approval and origin/transit/destination clearance separately. Assistance animals, commercial movement and unlisted services need separate assessment.
