For pets traveling in the cabin, your dog or cat must be transported in a special closed travel bag that does not exceed 18" x 11" x 9" (46 cm x 28 cm x 24 cm). Air France recommends that you use a flexible bag for your own comfort during the flight. The bag must be well-ventilated, big enough for Fido to stand up and turn around, but also fit in the area underneath the seat in front of you. For pets traveling in the hold, the size of carriers depends on your pet, but the animal must have at least 2" (5 cm) above their head when they're standing up. Pets must be able to stand upright without touching the sides and have room to turn around. Carriers must be made of hard plastic or fiberglass, have no wheels, be able to lock in two places, and have separate food and water dishes.

Air France does not allow snub-nosed animals (such as pugs, boxers, bulldogs and Shih Tzu dogs, or Persian and Burmese cats) to travel in the hold for medical reasons. The transport of an emotional support dog must be requested at least 48 hours before departure at an Air France point of sale or a travel agency. You can find the forms you need on the website link provided. Pets must be at least 15 weeks to travel with Air France.

  Excellent service

  Have flown 3 times across the atlantic with them with my 80 lb dog in his Verikennel Giant (series 700 crate). They could not have been nicer, friendlier or more efficient in handling our needs. They don't go in cargo, but in a heated luggage compartment below the passenger deck. They have great rates too, just $200 each way. Compare that to a us transcontinental fare of 525 - 850 on US domestic carriers, and you see what a bargain that is. Good luck.

We haven‘t received any photos of dogs flying Air France yet.
