Flying With Your Dog on easyJet: What You Need to Know (2026)

Hoping to fly with your dog on easyJet? It’s one of the few airlines that does not accept pets on board, whether in the cabin or in the hold — only recognized service dogs are admitted. Here’s what that means, and above all the alternatives for reaching your destination with your dog.

In the cabin: no

easyJet does not allow dogs in the cabin (except service dogs). Service dogs only.

In the hold: no

easyJet does not offer hold transport for dogs. Service dogs only.

How to book with a dog-friendly airline instead

Pet spots on board are limited everywhere: book as early as possible.

1. Buy your ticket, then contact the airline to add your dog to the reservation.
2. Prepare the health documents (microchip ID, rabies vaccination, health certificate or pet passport, sometimes a rabies titer test) — see our guide to international travel with a dog.
3. Choose the right container: an approved soft carrier (cabin) or an IATA crate (hold). Size it with our IATA dog crate calculator.
