The constraint on this route

On routes to Greece the season matters more than anything: in high summer many airlines suspend hold transport above certain temperatures, and the risk is higher for snub-nosed dogs. If you travel in July or August with a dog that does not fit in the cabin, check the airline's conditions before fixing your dates.
