Pet Travel in the Cabin

Small pets, including cats and dogs, are allowed to travel in the cabin under specific conditions:

• Weight Limit: The combined weight of the pet and carrier should not exceed 7 kg (15 lbs).
• Carrier Dimensions: The carrier must fit under the seat before you. Maximum dimensions are 55 cm x 38 cm x 20 cm (21.5 in x 15 in x 8 in)

Pet Travel in the Hold
