Aegean Airlines Pet Policy

Love for pets is quite genuine and some don’t want to get apart from their pet and thus request their airlines when they are flying to another destination. Many airlines don’t allow carrying due to animal life risks or sometimes keeping the comfort of co-passengers in mind.

Being an owner of a pet and wanting to fly with them, then you have to be aware of the fact that, booking tickets for a pet in flight is done in advance. Only pet owners of dogs, Cats, and Ferrets are permitted to have online bookings. But other than these animals you have to contact customer care to get your advance booking for pets.

As space for pets is limited, i.e only limited numbers of animals can travel in a flight thus, you have to book in advance so that you may not face any problems. So before booking just confirm by Aegean Airlines call center if there is any vacancy for pets to travel.
