Knowing that an airline accepts pets is only the first step. The same airline may apply different rules for cabin travel, checked hold, long-haul routes, connecting flights and destination countries.
What to compare
- Cabin or hold availability for your route.
- Combined pet and carrier weight limit.
- Carrier dimensions and material.
- Maximum number of pets per passenger and per aircraft.
- How and when the pet service must be booked.
Italy and global travel
For travelers departing from Italy, common searches include Italy to Europe and Italy to worldwide destinations. On international routes, the airline policy must be checked together with official destination and transit requirements.
Why confirmation matters
Some airlines sell the passenger ticket online but require a separate pet confirmation. Without that confirmation, you may have a valid passenger ticket but no approved space for your dog.
Updated airline comparisons
For cabin travel, see the dedicated guides for Austrian Airlines, Aegean, Volotea, Finnair and Turkish Airlines. Aer Lingus follows a different process: ordinary pets do not travel in the cabin and hold transport must be arranged through an agent.
If your dog is over the cabin limits, start with the complete hold guide and the IATA crate criteria.
