🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed
Air Europa refuses brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breeds in the hold. What the airline itself wrote is in the restrictions above — that text alone says which breeds it turns away.
These 22 breeds are MyDogCanFly's own brachycephalic classification, heaviest first — it is not the list published by Air Europa. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.
