Does Eurowings allow cats & dogs to fly in the cabin?
Dogs and cats in the cabin are accepted by Eurowings in their travel bag, up to a combined weight of 8kg. The pet in cabin service only applies to cats and dogs, and is only available on short and medium haul flights.
In addition to the standard EU regulations for pet travel in Europe, you must also adhere to the following:
- Pet cats and dogs must be carried in a watertight, closed, breathable bag (not a hard container) that they cannot bite through
- The bag may be no bigger than 55 x 40 x 23 cm
- Both your pet and the bag together must weigh 8 kg or less
- Your cat or dog must be able to stand upright in the bag
- Pets must also be able to turn around and lie in a natural position
- Only one cat or dog is allowed per bag and per person
At the time of booking your own flight online, you can reserve a spot in the cabin for your pet under the More Services option. It’s also possible to book by phone with the Eurowings Customer Service Team, although if you do this at a later date than your own reservation, a fee of €10 will be added. However, you can add your cat or dog to your flight online, free of charge, provided you do this at least 48 hours before departure.
