The end-of-year holiday season is one of the busiest travel periods in Australia, making extra planning essential when flying with your pet. Whether you’re travelling interstate or overseas, preparing ahead helps ensure your furry friend enjoys a safe, comfortable, and stress-free journey.
- Choose a pet-friendly destination that suits your pet’s temperament and research any local pet restrictions.
- Book pet-friendly accommodation early, as demand is high over the Christmas and New Year period.
- Allow extra travel time during peak holiday traffic and busy airports.
- Be prepared for fireworks and loud celebrations by creating a calm, quiet space for your pet.
- Keep festive hazards such as chocolate, alcohol, tinsel, ornaments, and fairy lights out of reach.
- Research emergency veterinary clinics at your destination and ensure your pet’s medical records, ID tags, and microchip details are up to date.
