Can you take pets on Finnair?

Yes, having a pet can make for enjoyable travel experiences, but it does take careful planning, especially when flying with Finnair or other low-cost carriers. You need to know Finnair Pet Policy, which is crucial if you plan to bring your pet along on a flight. Finnair Airlines allows dogs in the cabin and the cargo hold, but there are rules and guidelines that must be followed. The details of flying with your pet on Finnair are important to know, whether you’re going on a quick trip or a lengthy vacation. This will assist in ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for you and your four-legged friend.

What is the Finnair Airlines pet policy?

There are restrictions on what may and cannot be brought in the cabin of an aircraft. However, small pets like cats, dogs, and pet rodents are allowed. If the animal is too big for the cage or the transportation box or bag is too big to fit in the cabin, the airline has the right to deny transportation. If the shipping box or sack is larger than what is permitted, the animal may also be transferred to the hold.

• The pet and the container or bag used for transportation must not weigh more than 8 kg (17 lb) together. The transportation box’s maximum dimensions are 56 x 45 x 25 cm/22 x 18 x 10 in, the same as those for carry-on luggage.
• Each traveler is only permitted to have one luggage or transit box.
• Throughout the journey, the animal needs to stay completely enclosed in the box or bag.
• A soft bag is suggested when carrying a dog or cat in the cabin since it fits under the seat more easily. The bag needs to be transport-ready and have a sturdy bottom.

Efficient pet stores sell bags made specifically for moving animals. There must always be a cage for rats and mice.

What size bag can a pet fly on Finnair?

Any pet weighing more than 40 kg (88 pounds) needs to be transported in a sturdy wooden box.

• If each puppy weighs less than 14 kg/30 lb, a maximum of three puppies under six months old may be carried in the same box.
• In a given box, no more than two animals older than six months are permitted. Each animal’s maximum weight is 14 kg/30 lb.
• Pets that weigh more than 50 kg (110 lb) with the box must be sent as freight.

There is only room for two pet boxes in the airplane hold at once, and there is only enough for one pet box in an Embraer aircraft. Pet stores and huge department stores sell approved pet transportation boxes.

How much does Finnair charge for pet travel?

Finnair Pet Travel Fee is for pet transportation, and pets are not eligible for the free baggage allowance. Only service dogs are carried for free. The one-way fees for pet transportation on Finnair’s scheduled flights within Europe, Asia, and Finland are listed below. If you have a ticket with a Finnair flight number and you want to fly on a Finnair flight, there are fees.

• When transporting a pet inside the aircraft on trips to the United States, there is an excess baggage cost (US$90–110) for each piece of excess baggage; the amount is €252 for pets traveling in the hold. If not, a fee equal to 1.5% of the maximum rate for an economy-class ticket will be assessed, irrespective of the kind of transportation used.
• The fees for the one-way transportation of dogs on leisure flights are as follows: €100 for trips under five hours, €160 for those between five and eight hours, and €200 for those beyond eight. Pets are carried exclusively in the aircraft’s hold on leisure flights.

A microchip or a tattoo with legible text must identify all dogs, cats, and ferrets traveling on the same flight with the passenger within the European Union, under a decision published by the organization. A certificate that contains details on the animal’s health status and anti-rabies vaccination history must also be brought with the pet. The Finnish Food Safety Authority, Evira, has further information available.

How many pets does Finnair accept on a flight?

There are special rules for pet-friendly travel on Finnair. The airline normally permits up to two pets in the cargo hold on flights run by Finnair. There can only be one pet allowed in the hold on Norra flights, though. It’s important to keep in mind that the exact number of pets permitted may differ depending on a variety of variables, including the kind of aircraft, the destination’s weather, and the presence of allergy-prone people. It’s best to reserve your pet’s seat well in advance and double-check the information with Finnair before your travel to prevent any problems. This guarantees your pet a comfortable travel and prevents any last-minute surprises.
