Lufthansa Airlines In-Cabin Pet Travel Policy

We really don’t want to leave behind our little furry friends when going on a trip. If you are planning on taking a Lufthansa Airlines flight to one of your favorite destinations and wish that your pet accompanies you, it is essential that you know about the guidelines Lufthansa Airlines provides about their pet travel policy. Here’s what you need to know.

There are three ways your pet can travel with you on a Lufthansa Airlines flight. It can either travel with you in-cabin, as checked baggage, or as manifest cargo. Below we go through the in-cabin pet travel details.

For in-cabin pet travel, Lufthansa has a few requirements regarding the pet carrier. The carrier must be an approved one. It should also have a waterproof bottom to it. The carrier should also have enough space for the pet to be able to move freely inside it and be perfectly comfortable. The pet should also not be facing any ventilation problems.

It is important to note that Lufthansa only allows small dogs and cats to fly on-board one of their flights. Your pet should be at least 12 weeks old in age. If you are flying from or to the USA, the minimum age requirement is 16 weeks. A far as the carrier is concerned, the maximum measurements allowed are 21.6" L x 15.7" W x 9" H (55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm). The combined weight of the carrier and the pet must not be more than 8 kgs (17 pounds).

One passenger can only travel with 2 dogs or 2 cats each. This rule is applicable under the checked baggage pet policy as well. Both the pets will have to travel in one single carrier. You must notify the airline that you will be flying with a pet during the reservation process itself. It will cost you between €55–100 for pet travel.

If you are reading this, you might be planning to fly with Lufthansa Airlines in the near future. If you need details on the flight booking procedure then you will find this article on Lufthansa Airlines Official Site to be very helpful as it provides a step-by-step guide for making a reservation. It also has information regarding the ‘Manage Booking’ option, luggage policy, and what all a Lufthansa Flight offers to its passengers.
