EgyptAir Pet Policy

Selected official pet-carriage conditions; route and service coverage is shown below.

Booking and advance notice

Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage

Contact reservations at least 48 hours before departure. Carry valid health/vaccination documents and destination/transit documents. Pets are outside free baggage; another carrier’s onward checked transport must be booked separately.

Selected official conditions only, for the operating airline and the direction, aircraft, service and dates stated in each rule. A mode tab may contain a prohibition or unresolved condition; it does not grant carriage. Obtain actual pet space approval and origin/transit/destination clearance separately. Assistance animals, commercial movement and unlisted services need separate assessment.

Weight limits

Dog / Cat · In the cabin

Dogs/cats plus kennel must not exceed 8 kg. Maximum kennel 55 cm length ×40 cm width ×20 cm height, hard or soft, leak/escape proof, with room to stand, turn and lie. Stay inside throughout flight; quota is two animals per cabin zone, generally one per cage with a cohabiting-pair exception within limits.
