Here Are The Most Pet-Friendly Airlines In Europe

Europe

Travelling with pets can be stressful – does the airline allow dogs? Is it going to charge an extortionate fee to bring them? What about weight limits? Trying to find airlines that will make flying with pets a breeze isn’t as easy as you might think, but luckily there’s some excellent pet-friendly airlines in Europe.

Budget Direct ranked 50 airlines around the world in order to find which are the best for flying with pets, whether you have a cat, bird, reptile or pup! They scored the pet-friendliness of each airline, rating them across 10 different categories, including cost-per-pet, cabin allowance and openness to unusual animals.
