Direct Flight Options From Auckland Make USA Pet Travel Easier
For New Zealanders planning an international move to the USA, spring is bringing some exciting news for pet owners.
Additional direct flight options from Auckland to selected USA destinations are now available, providing new opportunities for families looking to move their pets overseas.
For pet owners, choosing the right flight is an important part of planning an international pet relocation. Flight availability, airline requirements, pet eligibility, documentation and destination regulations all need to be considered well in advance.
Jetpets’ experienced Pet Travel team can help guide you through the process, from the initial planning stages through to your pet’s arrival in the USA.
Moving Pets From Auckland To New York
If you are planning to move your pet from Auckland to New York, Jetpets can now assist with booking direct flights via Qantas Airways during the September to November travel period.
A direct flight can provide an additional travel option for pet owners relocating to New York, but selecting a suitable flight is only one important part of an international pet relocation.
Before your pet travels, there are a number of important considerations, including:
- Checking your pet meets the relevant entry requirements
- Ensuring vaccinations and veterinary documentation are completed within the required timeframes
- Selecting an appropriately sized airline-approved travel crate
- Preparing your pet for travel
- Coordinating airport and airline requirements
- Making sure all import and destination documentation is correctly prepared
- Planning for your pet’s arrival and clearance in the USA
Our experienced team can help coordinate these requirements and provide guidance throughout the entire journey.
Moving Pets From Auckland To Houston
For pet owners moving to Houston, another new option is also now available.
Jetpets can book your pet on the direct flight with Air New Zealand from Auckland-Houston, which is currently scheduled to operate from October through to May.
The availability of this route provides another option for families relocating with their pets to Texas and surrounding areas in the USA.
As with any international pet journey, planning ahead is important. Requirements can vary depending on your destination, your pet’s circumstances and the airline being used.
That is where experienced international pet transport support can make a difference.

Planning Your Pet’s Journey To The USA
