Taking a pet to Russia

 

Since Russians constitute the main tourist flow, we also present the basic rules for transporting animals to Russia.

In accordance with Aeroflot’s animal transport rules, from September 15, 2020 a passenger can carry only one container with only one animal. The exception is kittens or puppies in the amount of no more than 3 over the age of 8 weeks, but not over 6 months, which can be transported in the passenger cabin, provided that the weight of the animals together with the container does not exceed 8 kg.

The dimensions of a rigid container in length, width and height should not exceed 44 ×30×26 cm. The size of a closed carry-on bag for transportation in the passenger compartment in the sum of three dimensions should not exceed 126 cm.
