Aer Lingus Pet Policy

The Aer Lingus pet policy is as follows:
Pets are not accepted in the cabin of any Aer Lingus aircraft.
Pets must be booked through a pet agent at IAG Cargo for carriage on Aer Lingus flights in the aircraft hold.
Customers travelling with pets from North America can contact the Aer Lingus North American Pet Desk on 1 (888) 578-4806 (Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm EST) or via email to [email protected] to make arrangements to bring your pet(s) into Ireland via IAG Cargo.
Only domestic cats, dogs and rabbits will be accepted for carriage on Aer Lingus Regional operated flights. This applies to domestic flights within Ireland and flights between Ireland and Britain. Pets will not be carried on flights to and from Ireland and Jersey or Rennes.
Carriage is permitted only with the animal owner’s acknowledgement that there may be risks to the health or welfare of their animal caused by the reaction of an animal to flying.
Some dangerous dog breeds and snub-nosed breeds of cats and dogs may not be accepted for travel.
Animals need to be at least 10 weeks old when travelling on an Aer Lingus flight.
The maximum weight of an animal container must not exceed 64kg/141lbs.
Taking a pet to a foreign country involves preparation and planning far in advance of your departure date. Requirements for pet travel to a foreign country are set by the destination country. If you are you traveling to another country and bringing along your pet you’ll need to meet the animal health requirements of the country you are visiting.
