Which statement correctly reflects EASA live animal weight limits on board?

• A. No more than 8kg
• B. No more than 12kg
• C. No more than 3kg
• D. No more than 18kg

Answer: (A)

Live animals carried in the cabin must be within a combined weight of 8 kg, counting both the animal and its transport carrier. This limit is set to ensure the animal can be kept under the seat in front of you, keep aisles clear, and meet safety and hygiene requirements throughout the flight. The 8 kg total covers most small pets when they’re in an appropriately sized carrier. If the animal plus carrier weigh more than 8 kg, it can’t be carried in the cabin and would need to be transported as checked baggage or via other approved means according to the airline’s policy. The other weight figures wouldn’t fit under the seat or comply with this standard cabin restriction.
