Pet carriage may depend on cabin class, flight type, route, pet weight, container size and confirmed service availability in the booking.

Pet carriage rules should be checked before every new booking, especially when choosing a complex itinerary, connecting flights or a Business Class fare. This helps avoid situations where the ticket has already been issued but the pet carriage service cannot be confirmed.
