Eurowings is the Lufthansa Group's pan-European low-cost — Luna has been on one of their Düsseldorf-Mallorca segments. Cabin and hold pet programs both run with EU-standard documentation and a transparent fee structure. The minimum age is 12 weeks for most routes, raised to 15 weeks for any segment to or from Germany.
Eurowings'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.

Eurowings requires the pet to be at least 12 weeks old for animal welfare reasons, and at least 15 weeks old for flights from or to Germany. The German-route age floor accounts for the country's stricter import policy on rabies-vaccination effectiveness windows. Seat reservations in emergency exit rows and the first row are not possible when travelling with a pet.
Frequently asked

- In the cabin, your pet plus its carrier must not exceed 8 kg.
- How much does it cost to fly a pet on Eurowings?

Eurowings is a clean European LCC for cabin and hold pet travel with transparent fees. Your plan answers two questions: is the pet at least 12 weeks (15 for Germany), and is the carrier sized to under-seat space for the A319/A320 fleet. With those locked, Eurowings handles the booking through Manage My Booking with the route-specific fee.
