⚠️ Key restrictions
🐶 Flat-faced breeds
Cabin allowedHold forbidden all year
Flat-faced dogs are barred from the hold all year, with no seasonal exception — but the cabin stays open to them. Luxair is explicit: the only ground for refusing a dog in the cabin is its classification as a fighting dog, not its muzzle. A pug or a Shih Tzu under 8 kg therefore flies in the cabin. Note that Luxair lists the Chihuahua among its flat-faced breeds — unusual, but that is what the source publishes.
🚫 Dogs classed as dangerous
Cabin forbiddenHold only
Dogs classed as fighting dogs travel in the hold only, in a crate with no plastic parts at all. This classification is the single reason Luxair gives for turning a dog away from the cabin.
🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed
Luxair 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 Luxair. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.
🌡️ Temperature & hold
Temperature limits: not disclosed
Luxair publishes no hold-temperature limits and no seasonal embargo on its animal page — the flat-faced ban is year-round instead.
Not published. The animal page states no conditions, accepted certifications or fee waiver for assistance dogs — contact Luxair before booking.

🛫 Paris CDG: cabin yes, hold noThe hold is closed on Paris Charles-de-Gaulle while the cabin stays open — a restriction set airport by airport and mode by mode, which almost no airline publishes.
💊 Dublin: tapeworm treatmentFor Dublin, praziquantel must be given between 24 h and 120 h before arrival.
🛩️ Limits by aircraftThree animals maximum in the cabin per aircraft; in the hold, one on the Q400 and two on the Boeing. On a full flight the aircraft type decides.
