## Pets

### Pet transport

Allowed

Cats and dogs can travel in the cabin or hold subject to route, space and destination rules; cabin pets must weigh under 8 kg including the carrier, while animals over 8 kg and up to 75 kg including the kennel must use the hold.

More details

- A hold pet must normally be added to the booking no later than 24 hours before departure, and required vaccinations and entry documents remain the passenger's responsibility.
- Snub-nosed breeds have additional restrictions, especially for hold transport.

## Special baggage

### Sports equipment

Varies

Air France applies item-specific transport and fee rules rather than one universal sports allowance.

More details

- Its current guide separates golf, ski, surf, scuba, hunting or sport-shooting, fishing, hockey or lacrosse, cycling and scooter equipment.
- The relevant item page and operating carrier must be checked before travel because reservation, packing, allowance and fee treatment can differ.

### Musical instruments

Allowed

An instrument may use the normal cabin allowance if it stays within 55 × 35 × 25 cm, travel in the hold, or—after prior approval—occupy one or more purchased seats.

More details

- The limit is 46 kg / 101 lb per seat.
- Hold transport can trigger oversize charges, and Air France recommends a hard case with rounded edges.

### Medical equipment

Allowed

Acceptance and onboard use depend on the device and its power source.

More details

- Personal medical devices relying only on external power may be carried in the cabin but not used there; medical gas cylinders up to 5 kg require prior approval, while liquid oxygen is prohibited.

Reservation, packing, approval and fees depend on the item, itinerary and operating carrier. Use the specific Air France item guide rather than applying the standard checked-bag rule automatically.

- Lithium-powered hoverboards and self-balancing scooters
- Electroshock weapons including Tasers
- Explosives, fireworks, and firecrackers
- Flammable or toxic aerosols and hazardous household chemicals

- Power banks are limited to two per person and 160 Wh, must remain supervised and accessible outside the overhead bins, and may not be used or recharged in flight; 100–160 Wh requires prior approval.
