Question

I want to fly to France with my 14-pound, two-year old shih tzu in cabin. Is this possible?

Answer 1

As of two years ago, Air France allows you to have a small pet in the cabin when flying in business and first class.  This rule or its restrictions may have changed since then, so it would be a good idea to check their website =]

Answer 3

As a rule of thumb, no. You'll have to check with the company you're flying with but big pets (bigger than cats) are a no go and even cats acceptance on international flights are not a given. Once more it all depends on the company. Air France, for example, won't accept an animal heavier than four kilos. At 14 pounds your dog is twice that.

Answer 4

Remember that your pet may be quarantined upon arrival.

Answer 5

If the s**+-tzu knows the basics of french politeness i's ok

Answer 6

as far as i know only lufthansa and swiss air allow pets as heavy as 8 kilos (17 pounds) including container.
