Cabin travel
Cats and dogs fly in the cabin when pet plus soft carrier weigh 8 kg or less and the carrier fits under the seat (46 × 28 × 24 cm).
Hold travel
Pets over 8 kg and up to 75 kg combined travel in the pressurised hold (AVIH) in a rigid fiberglass or hard-plastic crate.
Fees
Tiered by route: about €70 within France, €125 across Europe/North Africa, €200 long-haul for cabin pets; hold fees typically €75–€300 by route and crate size.
Crate requirements
Air France is stricter than most: the crate needs a central locking system that secures the door top and bottom, and an empty open-top bowl attached to the door fillable from outside — water bottles and dispensers are not accepted.
