S7 Airlines pet policy: flying with a dog or cat

✓ Rules checked: August 20, 2026Source: the airline's websiteS7

S7 Airlines carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 10 kg and in the hold up to 50 kg. The service is paid: 2500 RUB per flight. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.

Some countries take no animals at all: Iran and United Arab Emirates. Direct flights reach 11 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.
