Air France Pet Travel

Types of Pets Allowed: Air France allows various pets to travel with passengers, including:

• Dogs and cats are the most common pets allowed in the cabin or as checked baggage.
• Other animals, like birds or rabbits, may be permitted, but additional conditions may apply, depending on the size and breed.
• Only one pet is allowed per passenger in the cabin.
• Pets must be at least 15 weeks old and properly vaccinated.
• Pets are not permitted in the Business cabin on long-haul flights.
• Pets must remain in their travel kennel at all times during the flight.
• The travel kennel is considered an additional piece of baggage and will incur a fee.
• You can bring up to three pets in the hold.
• A request to travel with dogs or cats in the hold must be submitted at least 48 hours before departure.
• Traveling with dogs or cats in the hold may be limited or prohibited on certain types of aircraft.

Traveling in the Cabin:

• Size Restrictions : Pets that weigh up to 8 kg (17.6 lbs), including the carrier, can travel in the cabin.
• Carrier Requirements : The pet must be placed in a suitable carrier under the seat before you. The carrier must not exceed the dimensions of 46 x 28 x 24 cm (18 x 11 x 9 in).
• Booking a Pet in the Cabin : You must book your pet in advance, as the number of pets allowed in the cabin is limited per flight. It's advisable to reserve your pet's spot when booking your flight or as soon as possible after booking.

Traveling as Checked Baggage:

• Pets weighing more than 8 kg (17.6 lbs) but less than 75 kg (165 lbs), including the carrier, must be transported in the hold as checked baggage.
• Air France requires that the pet be safely secured in an IATA-approved crate that is sturdy, ventilated, and large enough for your pet to stand and turn around comfortably.

Air France Pet Travel Fees:

• The cost of traveling with your pet varies depending on the size and destination. The pet fees in the cabin are generally lower than those traveling as checked baggage.
• Pet in-cabin fees range from €30 to €125 on European flights and €200 to €250 on intercontinental flights.
• Pet as checked baggage fees generally range from €200 to €300, depending on the flight route.

Health and Documentation:

• To travel internationally, your pet must meet health and vaccination requirements, and you will need to provide the necessary veterinary certificates.
• Check the destination country's pet import regulations. Some countries have specific rules, including quarantine requirements or banned breeds.

Traveling with Multiple Pets:

• Air France has specific guidelines for traveling with multiple pets. If you plan to bring more than one pet, you must check the airline's policy and possibly book an additional seat or arrange for your pets to travel in the hold.

Pet Policy for Emotional Support Animals:

• Air France allows emotional support animals to travel in the cabin, but you must provide documentation from a licensed healthcare provider. Please notify Air France in advance to ensure your animal is accommodated appropriately.
