May I travel with my pet?
Eurofly is a “pet-friendly” airline and offers passengers the possibility to travel together with their pets. The transport of pets is subject to certain requirements and charges. The combined weight of the animal and its container will determine whether it travels in the passenger cabin or in the hold as well as the applicable fee to be paid. Because there is a limit to the number of animals permitted on any flight ~ be it in the passenger cabin or in the hold ~ it is imperative that the passenger advise Eurofly at the time of reservation that they intend to travel with a pet.
Transportation of Pets in the Passenger Cabin
The following regulations are always in effect for the carriage of live animals in the passenger cabin:
- Animals accepted in the cabin on board Eurofly services include: dogs, cats, singing birds (special health requirements are in effect for parrots), rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. For all other species, kindly contact the Eurofly call center.
- Only three animals are allowed in the cabin on trans-Atlantic flights: one in the business class cabin and two in the economy class cabin. On those occasions when there are two passengers transporting a pet on the same flight in economy class, one passenger will be seated at the front of the aircraft and the other one at the rear. These seats will be assigned at the airport on a first-come-first-serve basis only. NO passenger traveling with a pet shall be assigned seats by the emergency exits.
- The maximum weight of the animal and container may not exceed 22 pounds (10kg). The same limitation applies if there are 2 small animals in the same container.
- Passengers, themselves, must provide a sturdy waterproof container for the animal. The animal must remain in the container for the entire duration of the flight. The requirements for the container are:
- It must be large enough to allow the pet to assume a normal standing position.
- It must be adequately ventilated, waterproof and made of a material strong enough to ensure that the animal is unable to destroy it from inside.
- It must be securely fastened shut.
- The maximum measurements of the container allowable in the cabin are:
- (height x width x depth) in: 11 x 13 x 19 cm: 29 x 35 x 48
The passenger must provide ample food for the pet to last the entire flight.
The cost to transport a pet in the passenger cabin is $75.00 one way.
Transportation of pets in the “hold”
Pets and containers that exceed the weight and measurements allowable for transport in the passenger cabin shall be transported in the “hold” of the aircraft. The hold is both pressurized and climatized for the safe and comfortable transport of the animal. On the A-330 aircraft, a maximum of 3 animals may be accepted in the hold. Carriage of a live animal in the hold is always subject to the final approval of the Captain of the aircraft.
As in the case of the Pet in Cabin, the passenger must provide a suitable waterproof container for the animal. Except for the physical measurements, the requirements for the container are the same as those stipulated for the pet in the passenger cabin.
The cost to transport a live animal in the hold of the aircraft is $160.00 each way.
Service Dogs
Eurofly recognizes and respects the special needs of disabled passengers who require the assistance of service dogs. Service dogs are transported in the passenger cabin free of charge. Passengers traveling with service dogs need only present certification that the dog is, in fact, a certified service animal.
Service dogs need not be kept in containers when transported in the passenger cabin. However, they must be muzzled and kept on a leash for the entire flight.
As service dogs are included in the maximum number of animals allowed to travel in the passenger cabin, the request MUST be made at the time of reservation.
Health and Documentation Requirements for Animals Entering Italy
Italian authorities impose specific requirements for the importation of domestic animals into Italy. At check-in, passengers will be asked to present the required health and vaccination certificates as required by the Italian authorities. The passenger is ultimately responsible for securing the correct health documentation for their pets. Passengers are kindly requested to contact the Italian Consulate for the most updated information on health documentation for their pets.

Children who have not yet reached their 12th birthday may not travel alone and MUST be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age. If such a child is traveling with an adult who is not the parent or legal guardian, we require a notarized letter from the parent or legal guardian stating the full name of that person as well as their passport number. This letter should be faxed to our main office at 973-338-1658 at least two weeks prior to the departure of the child. The original letter shall be surrendered to the staff at JFK. A copy of the same letter should be in the passengers’ possession for the return journey.

Eurofly is very attentive to the needs of all passengers requiring special assistance. To ensure that wheelchairs will be available for departure as well as transit and arrival, we ask that you kindly make the request for a wheelchair at the time of booking. For those passengers who arrive at the airport with no prior request for this service, all efforts shall be made by our staff to secure a wheelchair, however, there may be somewhat of a wait before the service becomes available.
A passenger’s own wheelchair will be transported free of charge. The chair may be used as far as the gate area, at which time the passenger will be given a claim check for the wheelchair and it shall then be loaded manually into the aircraft hold. Should further assistance to board the aircraft be required, the gate staff shall see that it is provided.
Does Eurofly allow for advance seat assignments?
At this time, advance seat assignment is not possible.
How soon may I check in at JFK?
Eurofly check-in counters are located in Terminal 4 at JFK and open for check-in 4 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of each flight. As flights may be full and lines at both check-in and security checkpoints may take time, we earnestly suggest that all passengers in your travel group be at our terminal not less than 3 hours prior to the scheduled departure of the flight. Check-in closes one hour prior to departure and passengers arriving less than one hour prior to departure will not be accepted.
What travel documents are necessary for entrance into Italy?
Please take a moment to verify that you and those traveling with you have valid passports and that these passports shall not have expired by the time your journey begins. Also, it is of utmost importance that the names printed on your airline tickets match perfectly the names as they appear on the passports. American citizens do not need a visa to enter Italy provided that their stay in Italy does NOT exceed 90 days. If any of the passengers in your travel group have other than American passports, kindly have them contact the Italian Consulate in New York City to determine if they require visas for entrance into Italy.
