Note: The Air France pet page puts carrier dimensions, rates and the prohibited-animals list in tabs that load with JavaScript and could not be read (US, Canada, UK and France English sites tried). Carrier size, minimum age, pets per passenger, carry-on status and snub-nosed rules are therefore null. The fee comes from the US-market fees page; intra-France and intra-Europe cabin fees were not verified. Check the official site before relying on these fields.
