Flynas made my shortlist for one reason: dogs are accepted in the cabin, which is more than half the field manages. Luna disapproves of taxiing, but she would approve of not riding in the hold. Before you get comfortable, note the weight ceiling, because that single number decides whether your dog boards at all. I read the fine print twice, so let me walk you through it.
Flynas'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.

Health & documents
The total weight of the animal plus the pet container must not exceed 5 kg combined. Weigh your dog inside its carrier before travel, not separately. A carrier heavier than expected can push a small dog over the limit. Choose the lightest compliant carrier available. Confirm the combined figure sits under 5 kg at check-in, or the dog will be refused cabin travel.
Frequently asked
- What is the cabin weight limit on Flynas?
- In the cabin, your pet plus its carrier must not exceed 5 kg.
- What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
- If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
- What happens if I forget a document?
- At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
So the shape of it: Flynas takes dogs in the cabin, capped at 5 kg for pet and carrier together. Everything else depends on your dog's actual weight and your route. Build a personalized plan with Pawgo's plan-builder for your exact trip, and it will confirm the numbers that apply to you. I keep a printed copy in three places now, and I recommend the same.
