Air Europa Pet Policy: Flying With a Dog or Cat in 2026

Hi, I'm Merlot — a 30 kg Golden Retriever and trained Service Dog. Here's Air Europa's pet policy exactly as published on its own official pages: the cabin rules, the hold, what changes for trained service dogs, and booking basics. Where Air Europa doesn't publish a fixed number, I say so directly instead of guessing.

Last verified: 2026-10-20. Rules change — always confirm with the airline before booking.

A worked example first, then each rule in detail.

Worked example

Does my dog fit Air Europa's rules?

Take a 28.0 kg English Setter — too big for most airlines' cabins. On Air Europa, a dog that size travels in the hold, subject to the airline's standard hold conditions.

Now every rule, sourced and dated.

  1. Pets in the Cabin

    Air Europa allows dogs and cats in the cabin, though a fixed weight limit is not published in the terms we could verify. The carrier must be no larger than 40 × 30 × 30 cm. EUR 35 (domestic Spain/Balearics), EUR 50 (Canary Islands, Europe, Africa, Intra-America), EUR 150-175 (long-haul, route-dependent). (Independently corroborated this pass by a consumer-facing Spanish aggregator - El Corte Ingles - citing a closely matching EUR 35 Spain/Balearics up to EUR 175 long-haul range, which increases confidence in these figures even though they remain third-party-corroborated rather than re-fetched directly from aireuropa.com this pass.) Arrange via Air Europa at booking; for species other than dogs/cats, must go through Air Europa Cargo (+34 934 90 40 38) instead of passenger booking.

    • Carrier limit: 40 × 30 × 30 cm
    • Short/medium-haul cabin: dogs and cats only. Long-haul cabin: dogs and cats only, and NOT permitted in Business Class on long-haul (787 Business seats won't fit a carrier under them). Only soft, ventilated carriers allowed - rigid plastic carriers are rejected. Minimum age 3 months, must be vaccinated. Up to 5 pets total (cabin + hold combined) per passenger.
  2. Pets in the Hold

    Air Europa transports pets in the cargo hold. Dogs and cats only in the passenger hold; all other species must be shipped via Air Europa Cargo.
