Important Guidance for Service Dog Travelers
- Notify Wizz Air at booking (and at least 48 hours before departure) about your intention to travel with a guide or assistance dog.
- Prepare and submit all official documents, including certificate of training and any country-required entry paperwork (EU Pet Passport, health certificate, vaccination record, microchip, etc.).
- Dog must be on leash/harness during flight and must sit at handler’s feet; dog must not occupy a seat.
- Only one guide or assistance dog per flight is permitted. Early notice is essential for availability confirmation.
Woofly Tips
- Plan alternative transport for non-assistance animals—Wizz Air does not accept pets for any reason other than certified disability travel.
- For service/guide dogs, bring all original paperwork in-hand plus digital scans.
- Check with destination country for any quarantine or entry requirements for assistance animals, especially when flying outside of the EU.
