During the reservation, the traveler must provide information on the species, quantity, and weight of the animal or bird he/she travels with.

Pets must be carried as a checked baggage in the separate aircraft cargo hold.

The weight of a pet is not included in a baggage allowance and a special baggage extra fee must be paid for a pet cage.
