Animal Transport

Baggage Check-in
Baggage

Small cats and dogs may commonly be transported in passenger cabin if placed in a transport crate with a firm and impermeable bottom. Large-size animals must be checked-in and transported in aircraft hold.

Animal transport rules and regulations follow the conditions of live animal carriage pursued by individual air carriers. For detailed and up-to-date information regarding the conditions of live animal carriage, limitations therein, type of animals transported and prices, please contact your carrier directly.

Documents Required for Pet Transport

The following documents will be required on flights to most countries:

  • Animal Passport
  • Rabies Vaccination Certificate
  • Animal Identification via a Microchip or Tattoo

We recommend you check the animal carriage rules and regulations stipulated and pursued by your final destination prior to departure. Great Britain is an exception with strict ban on animal import.

Getting around Airport with Animals

Dogs moving around airport terminals must be on a short leash and wearing a muzzle. We do not run pet toilets at Václav Havel Airport Prague. Therefore, we ask that you clean after your pets.
