Okay, adventure crew, listen up! Norwegian Air Shuttle lets dogs ride right there in the cabin with you, and that alone had me grinning ear to ear. Nala has opinions about layovers, sure, but knowing she can curl up under the seat instead of riding below changes everything about how Sam and I map out our next mountain-bound flight. Let's dig into the real details before you book.
Norwegian Air Shuttle'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 container and the dog together must not exceed 8 kg in total gross weight on Norwegian Air Shuttle. Weigh the carrier with the dog inside before leaving for the airport. Choose a lightweight soft-sided bag to keep more of that 8 kg budget for the animal. Anything over 8 kg total gets rejected at the cabin check. Confirm the combined figure early.
Norwegian Air Shuttle does not recommend sedatives or tranquilizers for animals during transportation. Skip any calming medication before the flight. Ask the vet about non-drug options for an anxious traveler instead. Acclimate the dog to the carrier during weeks of practice at home. A dog moving through the airport unmedicated stays alert and responsive. Follow the no-sedative guidance exactly as stated.
Frequently asked
How many pets can I bring on Norwegian Air Shuttle?
Norwegian Air Shuttle allows 1 in the cabin, per passenger. Each pet needs its own carrier.
What is the cabin weight limit on Norwegian Air Shuttle?
In the cabin, your pet plus its carrier must not exceed 8 kg.
Can snub-nosed (brachycephalic) breeds fly Norwegian Air Shuttle?
Snub-nosed breeds such as bulldogs, pugs and Persian cats are not accepted in the cabin.
How much does it cost to fly a pet on Norwegian Air Shuttle?
On flights within Metropolitan France, Norwegian Air Shuttle charges from 85 EUR in the cabin, one way per pet. Longer routes cost more — price your exact itinerary.
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.
The cabin fee on Norwegian Air Shuttle is 85 EUR one way. Budget 85 EUR per direction, so a round trip runs 170 EUR in pet charges alone. Pay this fee on top of the passenger ticket. Confirm the 85 EUR amount at booking to avoid a surprise at the gate. Factor both legs into the total trip cost.
So there you have it, trailblazers! Norwegian Air Shuttle keeps your pup close in the cabin, and that's a win worth booking around. Before you lock in those dates, build your personalized plan with Pawgo's plan-builder so every weight limit, fee, and rule lines up for your exact route. Sam timed our customs window down to the minute, and a solid plan is how you get that dialed. Go make it happen!
