Pet Policy Overview
SAS Scandinavian Airlines allows cats in the cabin on most domestic Scandinavian and European routes. Based across Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, SAS is the primary carrier for pet transport within and between the Nordic countries. The airline's cabin pet service covers short-haul European routes effectively, though intercontinental cabin pet options are more limited. SAS offers a straightforward booking process and is well-experienced with the EU Pet Passport system across the Scandinavian market.
Key Details
Pet Fee
From €/SEK 600–900 (cabin, route-dependent)
Pro Tip
Book your pet through the SAS customer service centre at least 24 hours before departure. SAS cabin carrier dimensions (40×25×23 cm) are slightly smaller than some competitors, so ensure your carrier fits before travelling. The airline allows one pet per passenger in the cabin, and soft-sided carriers are recommended. For Nordic domestic routes, SAS often has availability for pet passengers, but popular summer routes can fill up quickly — book early.
Restrictions
Brachycephalic breeds may be restricted from hold travel. Pets not permitted in SAS Business or Plus cabins on intercontinental flights. Not all aircraft types accept cabin pets — regional turboprops may have restrictions. Pets must meet destination-country import requirements. Norway, while not an EU member, follows equivalent EU pet regulations. Finland and Ireland require Echinococcus tapeworm treatment 24–120 hours before arrival.
