Here's what nobody tells you about Air Europa: it is one of the better carriers for a dog like Mochi, right up until you try the hold. The cabin allowance is 10 kg including the bag, which is genuinely generous — most of my shortlist stops at 8. The hold is where the flat-faced rule bites, and it bites by weight rather than by breed alone, which almost nobody expects.
Air Europa's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

The overall weight of the carrier and pet cannot exceed 10 kg for cabin travel. That is a combined figure, so a 2 kg carrier leaves 8 kg for the animal. Weigh the bag with the dog already inside it before leaving for the airport, because the check at the counter is on the combined total rather than on the dog alone.
Brachycephalic dogs and cats exceeding 8 kg including the carrier are not permitted to travel in the aircraft hold. The restriction is scoped by weight, so a smaller flat-faced animal is not caught by it at all. Weigh the animal in its carrier before booking a hold place, since the 8 kg line decides whether the hold is available.
So Air Europa: 10 kg in the cabin including the bag, and a hold closed to flat-faced animals over 8 kg with the carrier. Mochi judges the queue length, not me — but he'd approve of that extra 2 kg of cabin allowance. If your dog is near either line, weigh it properly rather than guessing. Build a personalized plan and we'll tell you which mode is actually open to you.
