Each airline reserves the right to accept or not the transportation of pet. At the time of booking you must inform the airline of any animals that will be travelling with you. It is also necessary to check the current regulations about the entry of pet animals in force in the State of destination (in particular about vaccinations and required documentation).
Specific obligations exist for the transportation of pets within the European Union: these animals must travel with a pet passport, which shows details of vaccinations (particularly rabies shots) and a microchip number. It is advisable to consult the website www.viaggiaresicuri.it , which contains details of the current regulations in every country.
In this case, you must present the relative medical documentation pertaining to the disability. The animal travels free of charge.
There is no fixed rule: regulations are subject to frequent variations that depend on the airline companies. Passengers are therefore advised to contact their airline company or travel agent.
If an item of baggage exceeds the prescribed weight or size limitations, a surcharge must be paid, which varies according to the airline company and the final destination.
Generally, you may carry a single piece of hand luggage weighing no more than 5 kilos and with total dimensions (length, height, depth) that do not exceed 115 cm. In any case, it is advisable to contact your travel agent or airline as regulations differ from one company to another.
Any sharp object that could be improperly used as a weapon should be packed in your hold baggage, otherwise it may be confiscated by the police.
Your hand luggage should not contain objects that are considered a risk to flight safety, such as: toy weapons; catapults; cutlery; knives; razor blades; work tools; darts; scissors; syringes; sewing needles; clubs for sporting use and sharp objects. If you wish to travel with these objects you must pack them in your hold baggage.
It is forbidden to carry liquids and similar products, except in containers not exceeding 100 ml closed in a clear plastic, disposable, re-sealable bag with a capacity of no more than a total of one litre, which must be screened at the security points separately from the other luggage. The container shall display the capacity; higher quantities of liquids must be placed in the hold baggage.
Medicinal and diet products (like baby food) and items bought in the Duty Free shops (in the boarding areas) are not subject to this regulation, provided that they are contained in sealed bags with the Duty Free brand. It is a good rule to keep the receipt in case further controls are necessary.
