Before taking your pet with you on your journey, you need to know the following rules and restrictions:
PET IN CABIN
If you wish to carry your pet with you in the passenger cabin, you need to book its flight. Carpatair accepts the carriage of your pet in standard boxes, which you should provide.
- Only cats and small dogs may be transported as cabin baggage, within the limits specified below.
- Only one pet container is allowed per passenger.
The following maximum dimensions must be respected concerning pet in cabin:
- The container must not exceed H26xL50xW35 cm (H = height, L = length, W = width);
- The container plus the animal must not weigh more than 6 kg. Should these dimensions and weight be exceeded, the animal cannot be carried in the cabin;
- Carpatair can only guarantee the transport if the total number of pets accepted on your flight is not exceeded and if the dimensions/weight are within the specified limits.
Before taking your pet with you, you should be aware of the following transportation rules:
- If you carry a pet, you cannot be seated in an emergency exit row or the first row.
- You must stow the pet container under the front seat. The container must stay closed with your pet inside of it during the entire flight. You have to make sure that even if turned aside, the content of the box does not leak and that the pet can lie in a natural position.
- The container must be bite- and leak-proof and must ensure sufficient ventilation even when closed.
- The pet must fit into the container completely in a natural position, turn around and lie down.
