Airlines

Carriers on this route

Not all airlines accept live animals on this route. Confirm the operating carrier's current policy for every flight segment.

Austrian Airlines via Vienna
Warsaw (WAW) to Vienna (VIE), then a short onward hop to Ljubljana (LJU). The most reliable air routing, since no carrier flies Warsaw to Ljubljana direct.
Cargo and Cabin
LOT Polish Airlines
LOT covers the Warsaw-Vienna leg well, feeding into Austrian Airlines' or Adria-successor connections onward to Ljubljana.

Critical points

There is no direct flight from Warsaw to Ljubljana. Every routing connects through Vienna.

The microchip must be recorded in the EU pet passport before the rabies vaccination entry.

Reserve pet space on both legs of the Vienna connection at the time of booking, not at check-in.

Slovenia import rules, explained

Slovenia has a modest set of rules compared with stricter destinations. Get the essentials in place and confirm the finer points below.

Practical tips for this move

Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.

Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.

Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.

Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.

FAQ

Common questions

No. Every practical routing connects through Vienna with Austrian Airlines or LOT Polish Airlines.
No. Both countries are EU member states, and intra-EU pet travel does not require a rabies titre test.
Reserve cabin or cargo space on both the Warsaw-Vienna and Vienna-Ljubljana legs at the time of booking, since space on each sector is managed separately and isn’t guaranteed to carry through automatically.
No. UVHVVR spot checks are occasional for intra-EU arrivals with compliant documentation.
