easyJet is the one people assume must have a pet option somewhere, because everything else about it is à la carte. It doesn't. Animals aren't allowed on their flights at all — with one real exception, and it's worth knowing precisely: recognised, registered guide and assistance dogs do fly, free. Emotional support animals are named and refused.

easyJet does not carry dogs or cats — not in the cabin, and not in the hold. There are no weight limits, fees or crate specifications to compare, because there is no pet service to book. This page shows the airline's own wording below, so you can stop checking and start looking at carriers that do fly pets on the route.

So the question isn't which easyJet fare to buy, it's which airline on your route carries pets at all — across most of Europe that's the legacy carriers, and their cabin slots go early. If your dog is a registered assistance dog, that's a different conversation and easyJet want 48 hours' notice. Either way the plan starts with a phone call, not a booking page. Sam and I learned that one twice.
