Can Ryanair passengers travel with a pet in the cabin?

Passengers traveling with Ryanair can carry a pet in the cabin under specific conditions and regulations that must be followed. Ryanair typically allows small pets, such as cats and dogs, as long as they meet certain criteria, including weight restrictions and the requirement for appropriate pet carriers. The carrier must fit under the seat in front of the passenger, and the pet must remain inside the carrier during the flight. It is important for passengers to check the latest regulations and to notify Ryanair when booking their flight, as spaces for pets are limited and subject to availability.

In contrast, while service animals are permitted with certain allowances, the context of this question focuses on general pet travel. Additionally, the option of having pets in the cargo hold does not apply to Ryanair’s cabin travel policies, as the correct focus here is on pets allowed in the cabin environment, which is limited and regulated. Therefore, the mention of other options clarify alternative contexts regarding pets and service animals, emphasizing Ryanair’s specific cabin rules for pets.
