Assistance dogs
At airBaltic, we know how important your assistance dog is to you. Assistance dogs can travel with you for free and stay by your side in the cabin if they meet the requirements. Here’s what you need to know before your flight.
Planning your flight
When you book a flight, you must send us copies of documents that prove your dog is a trained assistance dog:
A certificate from a school of assistance dogs with a valid registration number. The school must be approved by one of these organizations:
Other things to know:
- Check the entry rules for assistance dogs in the country you're travelling to – some countries don't allow animals, including assistance dogs, to enter or transit through.
- Contact us before your flight if you're unsure which documents you need.
- Book early – space for passengers with assistance dogs in the cabin is limited.
- Emotional support animals are not allowed in the cabin on airBaltic flights. You can fly with an emotional support dog or cat as a pet. For more information, please visit Travelling with pets.
- Other airlines. If your travel includes flight operated by other airline please check also their requirements.
