Condor 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 Condor'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 Condor 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 Condor's rules?
Take a 7.2 kg Miniature Schnauzer — bearded, bright, and endlessly game for anything. At 7.2 kg, that dog fits inside Condor's 8 kg cabin limit.
Now every rule, sourced and dated.
