Travelling with animals
Here we have gathered information for passengers planning to travel with pets. Both when you are travelling from Sweden and when you are travelling to Sweden.
Booking your trip
For travelling with pets contact the airline with which you are travelling for further information.
Inform the airline at the time of booking that you will be bringing an animal on board – the number of animals permitted on board is often limited. Remember that airlines usually charge an extra fee for allowing an animal to travel inside the aircraft.
Larger animals can sometimes be transported as air cargo in compliance with special regulations. Contact your airline to find out what rules and charges apply.
Animals at the airport
Departing travellers
Your dog must be on a lead until you board the aircraft.
Arriving in Sweden
If you will retrieve your pet in the baggage hall, you need to contact the airline's ground handling company. You do this via the arrival service. Your pet will only be released to the pass
Drop-off & pick-up
If you are dropping off or picking up someone you are allowed to bring your pet in to the terminal building.
Travelling abroad with animals
If you are traveling abroad with an animal, it is important that you check the rules that apply to bringing an animal into the country you are traveling to.
Travelling to Sweden with animals
If you are going to bring an animal into Sweden, it may require long preparation before your animal can travel. Check this before you book. Animals traveling with their owner must remain in their cage or bag due to infection reasons until customs is passed.
