What Happens At The Airport?

What Happens At The Airport?

  • The captain of the aircraft is aware that your loved one is on board their flight
  • The captain will set the temperature to approx. 18 degrees celsius so that they are comfortable
  • The pets cabin is dimly lit so that your loved one can see what is going on around them
  • What we feel and hear in the cabin of the plane is the same as what your pet will experience (except in a travel crate they have much more legroom than us!).

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Domestic Pet Travel

Q: How Much Does Pet Transport Cost?

Domestic pet transport prices take into consideration several factors including: flight routes, destinations, size, weight of your pet, and service level required just to name a few. Our quotes can be made all-inclusive, ensuring a boutique experience for your pet – no hidden costs or surprises.

Our team follows strict internal and external policies to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during travel. Your pet travel consultant will discuss with you all available options, as well as a customised itinerary and quote for your pet’s travel across New Zealand.

Q: Is It Safe To Fly My Pets In Cargo?

The pets’ cabin is dimly lit, with the temperature set to approximately 18 degrees for comfort. The captain of the aircraft is also aware that your furbaby is on board their flight. Your pet will experience very similar conditions to what we feel and hear in the passenger cabin.

Q: How Do You Calm A Cat Or Dog Before A Flight?

Due to the possible adverse effects of sedation, our vet partners recommend other alternatives such as Feliway for nervous flyers. In the lead up to your cat or dog’s travel date, you can also help prepare your furbaby by going through the travel crate familiarisation steps which will help them be more at ease when it comes time to travel.
