easyJet (U2) is one of Europe's largest low-cost carriers — Nala can't fly with us on U2 in any capacity. easyJet does not accept pets in the cabin or the hold except for registered assistance dogs accompanying disabled passengers. General pet travel goes through cargo or pet-relocation specialists, not easyJet's passenger flow.
easyJet'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.

Frequently asked
- 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.
easyJet is freight-only for general pet travel — cabin is reserved for assistance dogs. Your plan does not include U2 for any pet-accompanied passenger booking. Switch to a pet-permissive carrier (Eurowings, Vueling, Wizz Air for short-haul EU) or route the pet through a pet-relocation specialist via cargo carriers like Lufthansa Cargo or KLM Cargo.
