Travelling with pets
Before going on a trip with your pet, you should know all the imposed flight conditions.
Your pet can travel in the passenger cabin or in the hold. You can read below the conditions for each transportation type.

In the passenger cabin only dogs and cats are allowed, weighing up to 5 kilos (the weight of the standard transportation cage is included).
