Here is what caught my attention about SkyUp: cats and dogs ride in the cabin, which is exactly the arrangement Luna insists upon. That single accepted answer decides whether a trip is even worth pricing out. Everything else on this page is the fine print I would normally chase across four browser tabs, gathered here so you can read it once and move on.
SkyUp Airlines'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 cabin pet service must be booked and paid no later than 24 hours before departure through the personal account. Reserve the cabin spot and settle payment at least a full day ahead. Same-day requests fall outside this window. Confirm the booking shows a paid pet slot before the 24-hour mark closes, not merely a held reservation.
Frequently asked
- How many pets can I bring on SkyUp Airlines?
- SkyUp Airlines allows 4 in the cabin, per passenger. Each pet needs its own carrier.
- What is the cabin weight limit on SkyUp Airlines?
- In the cabin, your pet plus its carrier must not exceed 10 kg. Heavier pets (up to 10 kg) travel in the hold.
- How much does it cost to fly a pet on SkyUp Airlines?
- On flights within Metropolitan France, SkyUp Airlines charges from 65 EUR in the cabin, one way per pet. Longer routes cost more — price your exact itinerary.
- How far in advance must I book my pet on SkyUp Airlines?
- Add your pet to the booking at least 24 hours before departure — do it when you book the ticket, not at the airport.
- 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.
Cabin transport of a pet costs 65 EUR one way. Budget 65 EUR for each cabin leg, so a round trip totals 130 EUR. The container counts toward the 10 kg cabin limit and must measure 50x40x25 cm. Pay this fee per direction, and add it separately from the passenger ticket price when calculating the total.
So SkyUp clears the first hurdle: cabin travel is on the table, the fee is a known 65 EUR, and the weight ceiling is fixed. The catch is that these numbers shift the moment your route, dates, or documents differ. Build a personalized plan with Pawgo's plan-builder to lock in the exact requirements for your trip before you book anything.
