    Carriage of animals

    Your pet can travel with you, so long as it does not bother the other passengers. It can travel free, so long as it is in a box that can be carried along with other hand bagage If, on the other hand, it is not transported in a proper box it will have to have a full-price ticket and must be properly muzzled and on a lead and is not allowed up on the seats. You must also have the animal's vaccination booklet and dog licence with you.
    This rule is, obviously, waived for guide dogs that are always free and welcome.
