• Only one animal is allowed per bag and per person.

Please note that we will not be able to carry your animal if the bag does not fulfill the above requirements.

The provisions of the EU regulation on animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals, which came into force on 1 October 2004, must also be observed. Please read this regulation before booking your flight or contact your vet, the Veterinary Office or border control.
