How to travel by plane with pets?

While some of the items listed below are common to all airlines, pricing, cage sizes, cargo or cabin transportation and required documents vary. You can find the necessary explanations on the website of the airline you will use during your trip. Each item with a ‘D’ below varies.

There is an additional charge for our pets. Vaccination and health certificates are required (D). Entry permits and documents required by the country must be complete. Although it varies, some airlines carry cats, dogs and birds in both passenger and cargo sections (D). Your name, surname, phone number and address must be written on the cage. Likewise, your pet friend’s details should also be written on the cage, including the total number of animals and their details if there is more than one. All animals requiring rabies vaccination must have been vaccinated 30 days before the flight and must not have been vaccinated more than one year before the flight (D). The cage width should not exceed 23x30x40 cm. If it exceeds these dimensions, your friend will be directed to the cargo hold instead of the cabin. The cage must have holes for your pet to breathe and be waterproof. Additionally, in the cabin, the weight of your pet + cage weight cannot exceed 8 kilos (D). Dogs over 14 kilos and cats over 10 kilos are unfortunately transported alone, and a separate cage is required for a second companion (D). Some species require approval from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Some bird species cannot be transported in the cabin.
