Every airline caps pets per flight, some at two, and the “72 hours before departure” on their website is a deadline, not a plan. If the pet spots are gone you don't fly with your dog, and the airline usually won't refund you. Add the dog the same day, then confirm it's on the booking in writing.
2 pet-friendly airlines flying FRA → CPH
These carriers fly this route non-stop and welcome dogs in the cabin, from flights on sale now plus our own route list. Always confirm your exact flight and date when you book.
Book directly with the airline. A dog can only be added to your booking on the airline’s own site, where they confirm cabin availability, never through a third-party site. Each card links you straight there.

One stop, if the direct flight doesn't suit
Every airline below takes a dog in the cabin on that leg, and each leg has been checked against the same country rules as a direct flight. Two legs means two check-ins and a dog who has to cope with the change, so it’s the fallback, not the first choice. If you leave the airside area at the stop, that country’s entry rules apply to your dog too.
FRA → AMS → CPH
Two airlines, so two separate bookings. Lufthansa to AMS, then SAS Scandinavian Airlines on to CPH. Add your dog to each one, and confirm the cabin spots on the second leg before you pay for the first.
FRA → PRG → CPH
Two airlines, so two separate bookings. Lufthansa to PRG, then SAS Scandinavian Airlines on to CPH. Add your dog to each one, and confirm the cabin spots on the second leg before you pay for the first.
FRA → CDG → CPH
Two airlines, so two separate bookings. Air France to CDG, then SAS Scandinavian Airlines on to CPH. Add your dog to each one, and confirm the cabin spots on the second leg before you pay for the first.
