SAS Pet Policy

SAS Pet Policy allows passengers to travel with small cats and dogs either in the cabin or as checked baggage, depending on the pet’s size, weight, and route. Pets traveling in the cabin must fit comfortably inside an approved soft-sided carrier that can be placed under the seat, with combined pet and carrier weight limits typically capped according to aircraft type. Larger pets may travel in the aircraft hold in IATA-compliant crates, subject to temperature restrictions and seasonal embargoes. Advance reservations are mandatory due to limited space, and additional fees apply per segment. Service dogs trained to assist passengers with disabilities may travel free of charge, provided documentation and advance notice requirements are met. Certain breeds, especially snub-nosed (brachycephalic) animals, may face additional restrictions for safety reasons. International travel requires compliance with destination-specific vaccination, microchip, and health certificate regulations, making early planning essential.
