Eurowings (Germany) transports dogs in the cabin only: convenient for small dogs, but not an option if yours is too heavy. Here are the exact conditions, the fee and the steps to follow.

In the cabin

Eurowings accepts a dog in the cabin if its weight, carrier included, does not exceed 8 kg (18 lb). The carrier must be soft-sided and fit under the seat in front of you. Expect around €60 (~$65).

Airline conditions: Dog + carrier max 8 kg (18 lb), carrier 55 × 40 × 23 cm (21.5 × 15.5 × 9 in), max 2 per passenger; from €60 (~$65); listed dangerous breeds not accepted.

In the cargo hold: no

Eurowings does not offer hold transport for dogs. No animals in the hold — cabin only.

How to book

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

  1. Buy your ticket, then contact Eurowings to add your dog to the booking.
  2. Prepare the health documents (microchip, rabies vaccination, pet passport or health certificate, 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.
