BA Euroflyer Limited (dba British Airways) pet policy: flying with a dog or cat

✓ Rules checked: September 23, 2026Source: the airline's websiteA0

BA Euroflyer Limited (dba British Airways) carries dogs and cats in the hold. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.

Direct flights reach 13 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.

Cabin Not allowed

The carrier's rule+

BA Euroflyer is a wholly owned British Airways subsidiary flying under the BA brand, AOC and flight numbers (based at London Gatwick; it has no own website or pets page).
The official British Airways 'Travelling with pets' page states: 'Your pet will travel in the hold of our aircraft.
We don't carry pets in the cabin on any route' — pets are never carried in the cabin on any BA/BA Euroflyer route, except assistance dogs accompanying disabled passengers.
Emotional support animals are also not accepted in the cabin and must travel as an ordinary pet.

Hold Allowed

The carrier's rule+

The pet travels in the cargo hold not via a normal baggage check-in counter but as manifest freight through partners: from the UK — PetAir UK, into the UK — sister company IAG Cargo (both linked from the official britishairways.com page).
IAG Cargo describes an IATA LAR-compliant container (100-series in most countries, 200-series 68x50x48 cm for cats ex-US/Canada, +10% size for snub-nosed breeds), and a dark, climate-controlled hold.
No numeric max weight or price is published on the official pages — pricing/limits are quoted individually by the partner, hence left null.
