Can I carry my pet with me on a Lufthansa flight?

Asked 2 years ago
Lufthansa does allow passengers to travel with their pets, but there are specific guidelines and regulations to be aware of. Generally, pets can be transported in the cabin, in the hold, or as cargo, depending on their size and the destination. For cabin travel, the pet must be small enough to fit in a carrier that complies with Lufthansa's dimensions, typically not exceeding 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm. The weight of the pet, including the carrier, should not exceed eight kilograms. When traveling with a pet, it is essential to make a reservation in advance, as there are limitations on the number of animals permitted in the cabin for each flight. Passengers must also adhere to specific health regulations, which may include vaccinations and health certificates, depending on the destination. Lufthansa encourages travelers to visit their official website for comprehensive details on pet travel, including various transportation options, fees, and health requirements. This ensures that travelers are well-equipped with the necessary information for a seamless journey with their furry companions.
