Airline dog policy

easyJet

easyJet is one of Europe's largest short-haul carriers and appears frequently in route data between the UK and continental Europe. For dog owners, the key policy point is negative: easyJet does not accept pets on its flights, either in the cabin, as checked baggage, or as cargo. The only exception is recognised registered guide and assistance dogs on permitted routes.

Contact before booking

Confirm the dog booking directly with easyJet.

Ask for written confirmation of the exact route, aircraft, dog weight, breed, carrier or crate size, fee and documents before paying.

Booking tip

If easyJet appears as a direct operator for your route, do not assume that the direct passenger flight can carry your dog. Choose a pet-accepting airline such as Air France, British Airways/IAG Cargo, KLM, Lufthansa, or another carrier with confirmed dog handling for the exact route, or use a specialist pet shipper.

Why it can work

easyJet is included here because its route coverage can otherwise look attractive for dog travel. Seeing the restriction before booking prevents a common failure mode: buying a cheap direct ticket and then discovering the airline cannot transport the dog.

Restrictions

No pets of any kind are accepted on easyJet flights. Recognised registered guide and assistance dogs may travel on permitted routes with advance documentation. easyJet states that emotional support dogs and pets of any kind are forbidden for carriage.

Dog-owner notes

Official easyJet help pages state that animals are not allowed on easyJet flights apart from recognised registered guide and assistance dogs. For assistance dog travel, easyJet requires health and training documentation and advance notice; some routes are not permitted.

Final check before paying

Confirm the exact aircraft, route, dog breed, carrier size, temperature rules and destination import law directly with the airline. A country can allow dogs while a specific airline or aircraft refuses them.
