Aer Lingus Pet Policy
Passengers who plan on traveling with pets should contact Aer Lingus before making a reservation. Call the Aer Lingus Customer Service Team directly at (800) 474-7424 to make arrangements.
Aer Lingus does not accept pets in the cabin on any of their flights. Instead, pets can be checked as cargo with a freight forwarder like Pet Air UK.
For pets being transported as cargo from North America, carriers should have dimensions 27" x 20" x 19" (68 x 50 x 48 cm). Before making your reservation, call (800) 474-7424 to find further information about Aer Lingus carrier guidelines and specific freight forwarders who can help with handling your pet's travel plans.
