Air France / KLM
The French-Dutch alliance with hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol; the rules are similar, but carrier dimensions differ slightly between the two brands — check the operating carrier's own site.
In-cabin carriage
A pet with its carrier, combined weight up to 8 kg, in the cabin; the number of pet slots per flight is limited, a fee and advance booking are mandatory.
Hold carriage
Heavier pets fly in the hold in a ventilated container; on some long-haul routes, hold pet carriage can be temporarily suspended — check at booking time.
Breed restrictions
Brachycephalic breeds are not accepted in the hold by either brand.
Fees
The fee depends on the route and brand, roughly 50-450+ EUR.
Booking
Book the pet slot together with the ticket, or at least 48 hours before departure.
