Smartwings Poland sp. z o.o. pet policy: flying with a dog or cat

✓ Rules checked: September 4, 2026Source: the airline's website3Z

Smartwings Poland sp. z o.o. carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 8 kg and in the hold up to 32 kg. The service is paid: 100 EUR per flight. 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 Allowed

8kg including the carrier

Carrier: 27 × 30 × 43 cm
Fee: 100 EUR per flight
Booking: at least 48 h before departure

The carrier's rule+

Only dogs and cats (reptiles and rodents explicitly banned), maximum 2 animals in the cabin, combined pet + carrier weight not exceeding 8 kg, carrier max 43x30x27 cm with a leak-proof bottom, placed under the seat for the whole flight.
Booking by phone at least 48 hours before departure (T0, English page).
The price 'per the carrier's applicable price list' — a specific figure (EUR 100 per flight) is not found verbatim on either the English can-i-fly-with-my-pet page or the official Polish PDF 'Zasady przewozu bagażu', but is independently and consistently confirmed by several T2 sources (BringFido, Polish travel aggregators) — entered with a note that it is not a T0 figure.
On flights TO Dubai (DXB) pets are NOT accepted in the cabin — only as checked baggage in the hold (see cargo); on the return leg FROM Dubai, standard conditions apply (cabin allowed).
On flights requiring mandatory cabin disinsection (notably from Funchal/Madeira, Mombasa, Cape Verde Islands), cats may only fly in the hold, not the cabin — this is a species-specific (not general) route restriction with no dedicated schema field (embargo_airports doesn't distinguish animal species), so it is kept in text.
On flights TO/FROM Ras Al Khaimah and Marsa Alam, pets are not accepted in any form — see embargo_airports.

Hold Allowed

32kg including the crate

Fee: 200 EUR per flight

The carrier's rule+

Official Polish PDF 'Zasady przewozu bagażu': 'W innych przypadkach zwierzęta są przewożone wyłącznie w luku bagażowym jako bagaż rejestrowany (jeżeli pozwalają na to parametry techniczne samolotu)' — animals that don't fit cabin conditions are carried exclusively as registered checked baggage in the hold, if the aircraft's technical parameters allow it.
No separate pet weight limit is stated for the hold in the PDF, but the same document sets the general technical ceiling for any registered baggage: 'żaden bagaż rejestrowany nie może przekraczać wagi 32 kg' — used here as the pet-in-hold maximum.
The specific EUR 200 per-flight price is T2-only (BringFido et al.); the T0 documents give no figure ('naliczany jest zgodnie z obowiązującym cennikiem przewoźnika' — per the applicable price list, no number).
On flights TO/FROM Ras Al Khaimah (RKT) and Marsa Alam (RMF), pets are not accepted at all, neither cabin nor hold — direct quote from the official page: 'Animals cannot be carried on flights to/from Ras Al Khaimah and Marsa Alam.'
