Important tips to ensure you and your pet enjoy a smooth journey.
Generally, you can take pets weighing up to 6 kg into the passenger cabin in a suitable carrier. Many airlines do not allow you to take certain animals such as birds or rodents into the cabin – they must be transported in the cargo hold.
You can obtain more information about travelling with pets from the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Each airline has different regulations regarding the carriage of pets in the aircraft. Please find out about the carriage regulations well in advance of your journey.
