Your pet at the airport

We totally get it: your pet is part of the family. No worries, you can travel together via Brussels Airport. However, to keep the airport experience pleasant for everyone, there are a few rules to follow. For instance, we kindly ask you to keep your pet on a leash or in a carrier at all times. Find out everything you need to know for a smooth journey through the airport with your pet. 

Checking in your pet 

Is your pet travelling in the hold? First check in at the airline counter. Then bring your pet to the special drop-off area at the back of the departure hall, between check-in lanes 2 and 3. From there, we'll make sure your pet is safe and comfortable until it's time to board.

Pet Relief Area at Gate B09 

Need a quick potty break for your furry friend? A special pet relief area is available at Gate B09. As the owner, you're responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Free dog waste bags will be provided. 

Picking up your pet upon arrival 

When returning to Belgium, you can pick up your pet at a designated counter in the baggage hall, near baggage belt 7. Tip: collect your own luggage first before retrieving your pet. 

Keep your pet in its carrier until you've passed through customs. If you're arriving from a country with a higher risk of rabies, customs checks are mandatory. 

After a long flight, a breath of fresh air is often welcome! Just outside customs, there's a place where you and your pet can go outside together.
