Travelling with animals

For travelling with pets contact the airline with which you are travelling for further information.

Booking your trip

Inform the airline at the time of booking that you will be bringing an animal on board – the number of animals permitted on board is often limited. Remember that airlines usually charge an extra fee for allowing an animal to travel inside the aircraft.

Larger animals can sometimes be transported as air cargo in compliance with special regulations. Contact your airline to find out what rules and charges apply.

At the airport

Departing travellers

Your dog must be on a lead until you board the aircraft.

Drop-off & pick-up

If you are picking someone up from or dropping someone off at the airport, you may not bring your pet into the terminal building.

Only animals travelling on a flight are permitted inside the terminal building, as well as service dogs used by the Swedish Police Authority, the Swedish Customs Service, the Swedish Armed Forces or security companies, dogs belonging to Swedavia's wildlife management team, and guide dogs, service dogs or hearing dogs accompanying persons with disabilities.

Travelling abroad with animals

If you are traveling abroad with an animal, it is important that you check the rules that apply to bringing an animal into the country you are traveling to.

Travelling to Sweden with animals

If you are going to bring an animal into Sweden, it may require long preparation before your animal can travel. Check this before you book. Animals traveling with their owner must remain in their cage or bag due to infection reasons until customs is passed.
