Pet Travel Policy Of Air France Airlines

Air France Airlines states that they have striven to make your pet’s flight trip as satisfactory and comfortable as yours. If you will be flying with a pet in the near future with Air France, it’s a good idea to know their various guidelines for pet travel.

Below we provide details on the pet travel policy in the hold, the cabin, or by freight.

Talking about pet travel In The Hold, a maximum of three animals can be transported with one single passenger (although this number can be lesser as well depending on the aircraft type). Cats and dogs between the weight range of 8 kg / 17 lb to 75 kg / 165.3 lb are to travel in the hold. During the process of reservation, the passenger should let the airline know that they intend to transport the pet in the hold.

It is important to note that Air France has banned the travel of snub-nosed animals (for example pugs and bulldogs) in the hold on their flights.

When it comes to pet travel In The Cabin, the maximum weight limit for cats and dogs is 8 kg / 17 lb (this includes the weight of the container). The minimum age requirement of the pet is 10 weeks old. They should also have received all the necessary vaccines. The maximum dimensions allowed for your pet’s special closed travel bag are 46 x 28 x 24 cm / 18 x 11 x 9 in.

For information on other requirements, you can visit the official site of Air France Airlines.

Pet Travel in the cabin is not allowed in Business Cabin on Intercontinental flights. For snub-nosed animals (vulnerable to any respiratory problems), taking advice from the vet is suggested before travel.

Your pet will be transported By Freight if it is not eligible for travel in the cabin or hold because,
You are traveling to a country that allows animal transportation solely by freight,
The combined weight of the pet and container is more than 75 kg / 16ˆ5 lb.
