There’s a lot involved when planning a trip and preparing for pet travel with Virgin Australia. These are some of the most important topics pet owners should consider.
The airline has the right to refuse a pet access to the flight if the crate’s interior isn’t clean at the time of boarding. On a full stomach, your dog or cat is more likely to make a mess in the crate before take-off. Therefore, give your pet its last meal 8 hours or more before any travel takes place.Â
No food will accompany the animals on the flight.Â
Virgin Australia has strict rules regarding accessorising the crate. Moorholme Pet Transport will advise and assist, but please note the following:
Only in some scenarios will the airline allow any medication to accompany the pet, and you’ll need documentation from the vet and clear identification of the drugs. If your pet is sedated, you’ll need a Veterinary Certificate that confirms your pet is fit enough to travel.Â
Certain countries and states do require animals to have permits for travel, but it’s often challenging to obtain the exact list of requirements from authorities. Our experts are up to date with the latest rules and regulations for domestic and international travel. Talk to us and we’ll advise on what you need for your travel plans.Â
It’s possible that your pet can be on the same flight as you, but there’s no guarantee. For each flight, there are minimal spaces in the cargo hold assigned to pets. You need to book well in advance to get your pet’s flight ticket during the time you plan on travelling.
Experts advise owners to first book their pets’ flights and then try to obtain tickets for themselves on the same flight. This increases the chances of being able to travel at the same time.
Yes, there is a possibility of earning rewards by flying your pet on a Virgin Australia flight, including domestic flights. The exact rewards depend on the type of member you are.
Moorholme Pet Transport’s areas of expertise are dog travel and cat travel. However, you’re welcome to discuss travel arrangements for other animals as well, including fish, rabbits, and domestic birds.
