Can I bring my pet on board?

Asked 2 years ago
Air New Zealand has specific policies when it comes to traveling with pets. Generally, pets are not allowed in the cabin on most Air New Zealand flights, with the exception of certified service animals. Service animals must meet certain requirements and be documented appropriately. For travelers wishing to transport their pets, Air New Zealand does offer a dedicated pet travel service known as the Air New Zealand Pet Travel Service. This service allows pets to travel in the cargo hold, where conditions have been designed to ensure their safety and comfort. It is essential for pet owners to familiarize themselves with the airline's regulations and requirements prior to booking a flight. This may include health certification, microchipping, and appropriate travel carriers. New Zealand also has strict biosecurity regulations, so it is important to consider the destination and any related rules that may apply. For detailed information regarding pet travel, including fees and booking procedures, it is advisable to visit the official Air New Zealand website to access the most current guidelines and contact information for further inquiries.
