Why people fly to Geneva with a dog
Ski season means long stays, and a chalet is one of the few holidays where bringing the dog is easier than kennelling it. Around ninety minutes airborne.
Worth knowing on this route
Switzerland is outside the EU, which changes the paperwork compared with an EU destination. Geneva is slot restricted at winter weekends, and pet arrangements need to fit inside that.
Coming home is the regulated direction
Flying out of Great Britain is governed by the destination country’s rules. Coming back is where the APHA approved-carrier requirement applies, along with the tapeworm treatment window of 24 to 120 hours before arrival for dogs from most countries. Plan the return before you book the outbound. The rules explained.
Common questions
Can my dog travel in the cabin to Geneva?
On a qualifying chartered private aircraft your dog can normally travel in the cabin. Operator pet policies vary by size, number and breed, and are confirmed before booking.
How long is the flight to Geneva?
About 1 hr 10 min estimated airborne over 407 nm great-circle from Farnborough. Routing, winds and ATC affect the real figure.
What does my dog need to come back into Great Britain?
A microchip, valid rabies vaccination, the correct travel document and — for dogs from most countries — approved tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before arrival. The carrier must hold APHA approval for the route and arrival airport.
