- The Lufthansa pet policy allows passengers to travel with their pets safely and comfortably, either in the cabin or as checked baggage, depending on the animal’s size and weight. Small dogs and cats weighing up to 8 kg (including their carrier) can travel in the cabin if the carrier meets Lufthansa’s size requirements. Larger pets must travel in the cargo hold in secure, IATA-approved containers. Advance booking is required, and additional fees apply based on the route and size of the pet. The Lufthansa pet policy ensures compliance with international regulations, prioritizing animal welfare while giving travelers flexible options to fly with their pets.
