Finnair carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 8 kg and in the hold up to 75 kg. The service is paid: 60 EUR per flight. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.
Some countries take no animals at all: United Arab Emirates, Australia, United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Direct flights reach 39 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.
A personal plan combines the airline's rules with the destination's
The conditions that send people back to the ticket desk: closed destinations, breeds, heat limits and how early the pet must be booked.
The carrier publishes no breed or brachycephalic restriction: its official pets page (checked 2026-08-28) contains no mention of snub-nosed breeds at all. The only breed-related remark there is about countries, not the airline: 'Some countries may have entry limitations for certain animals or breeds.' The absence of an airline ban does not remove the destination country's bans — those we show separately.
Finnair flies direct to 39 countries according to the schedules. Flying there is not the same as taking a pet: the destination country has its own entry rules, and the carrier itself closes some routes to animals.

Every number above comes from the carrier's official page. Check it before buying: airlines change the rules without notice.
Different countries have different regulations regarding travelling with pets. Some countries may have entry limitations for certain animals or breeds.
