SkyUp carries cats and dogs only, and the cabin ceiling is 10 kg including the carrier. Above that the animal moves to the hold at a different price, and above 32 kg it becomes cargo. Three tiers, three prices, one decision — and it is made by the scale, not by the breed. Read the booking deadline before anything else.

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.

Service & assistance animals

Cabin allowed Yesverified 2026-08-12
The cabin pet service must be booked and paid for no later than 24 hours before departure. An unpaid request is not a reservation, and the airport counter cannot complete it. Add the animal in the same transaction as the ticket where possible, and keep the payment receipt with the booking reference for check-in.

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, and 70 EUR in the hold, 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.
SkyUp charges 65 EUR one way for a pet in the cabin, booked and paid before departure. Treat it as a per-flight charge and confirm whether a connecting sector is billed again. A return trip therefore starts at 130 EUR, before any hold or cargo difference. Pay at booking; the counter cannot add the service later.
Cats and dogs, 10 kg in the cabin, 65 EUR one way, confirmed and paid a day ahead — that is SkyUp's policy in one line. Pixel and I have learned that the paperwork errors show up at the destination, not at the gate. Check the country rules for where you land, then let Pawgo assemble the personalized plan.
