Air Serbia carries dogs and cats in the cabin only once they are older than 12 weeks. Confirm the pet clears the 12-week minimum on the actual travel date, not the booking date, especially for a young puppy or kitten. A pet under 12 weeks will be refused at the gate, so plan the trip around that age threshold.
The in-cabin pet fee for flights within Europe runs 45 EUR each way. Budget 45 EUR per direction and treat a round trip as double that figure. Pay attention to whether the fare bundles the pet fee or adds it at booking, and keep the confirmation, since the 45 EUR charge is collected separately from the ticket on many routes.
Air Serbia is a straightforward cabin airline once the age minimum and the fee are on your radar — no surprises at the gate. Match those rules to your destination's entry requirements and you're set.
