Travelling with animals

Travelling with pets

Would you like to take your pet on holiday? We carry dogs‚ cats and turtles safely and comfortably in the cabin or luggage compartment. 

Please note that we cannot transport dogs and cats with blunt noses (brachycephalic animals) such as pugs‚ bulldogs and Persian cats. Blunt-nosed breeds have anatomically constricted airways and may suffer from shortness of breath during the flight. Stress or high temperatures at departure or destination airports can lead to circulatory problems. Your animal may suffer serious health problems or even die during the journey.

Notify us well in advance‚ but latest 48 hours before departure‚ and have the transport confirmed in writing. Please note that we can only transport a limited amount of animals per flight and only dogs‚ cats and tortoises. Please contact us by telephone at +41 44 577 61 02. 

Animals in the cabin (max. 8 kg)

Small dogs and cats can be taken into the cabin in a suitable container. For safety reasons the transportation box must be stowed under the seat in front of you during the entire flight and may not be placed on a seat. It is not possible to book an additional seat for your animal. Please note that a seatreservation in Row 1 or Exit Row is not available when you travel with a pet in cabin. 

The animal must be transported in a watertight transport container (box/bag‚ to be provided by the traveler) with air holes and a viewing window‚ which does not weigh more than 6 kg including the animal and does not exceed the following dimensions: 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm.

For the transportation of your pet in the aircraft cabin we charge a fee of CHF 90 per journey. Remember to bring all documents required for the entry and departure of your animal (valid pet passport‚ vaccination certificate and health certificate‚ etc.).

Transportation in the cargo hold (over 8 kg)

Animals heavier than 8 kg including the transport box are transported for you in the cargo hold of the aircraft. Your pet must be individually housed in a leak-proof and escape-proof transportation box of sufficient size. The animal must be able to stand and lie in it normally. Water and food containers that can be filled from the outside must be attached to the box.

Please note that we cannot transport dogs and cats with blunt noses (brachycephalic animals) such as pugs‚ bulldogs and Persian cats. Blunt-nosed breeds have anatomically constricted airways and may suffer from shortness of breath during the flight. Stress or high temperatures at departure or destination airports can lead to circulatory problems. Your animal may suffer serious health problems or even die during the journey.

For the transportation of your pet in the cargo hold we charge a fee of CHF 140 up to 20 kg and CHF 170 for 20 kg and more per journey.

If you do not want to miss your animal during the holidays‚ then register it up to 48 hours before departure with the registration form and have the transport confirmed in writing.
