Domestic Pet TravelCovid-19 brought with it a lot of changes - one of these changes is that AirNZ now require a Pet Transporter to lodge your pet with them on the day of departure. This is not a problem for us.
We will book your pet on the day/flight you require and confirm it with you with full information/instructions On the day of departure, our agent will meet you at the airport 90 minutes prior to the departure and take over the departure procedure. The next thing you know is that your pet will be at its destination and all set for a new adventure! Unfortunately though, one of the other things that AirNZ did was to increase it's prices for pet air freight by over 50% and this plus the requirement for a Pet Transporter to handle the booking and lodgement has meant that it is now very expensive to send pets by air. Travel Cages All cages must be airline approved - further information can be found here.. https://p-airnz.com/cms/assets/PDFs/pet-travel-within-new-zealand.pdf At the time that AirNZ increased the freight charges, it also increased the cost of returning empty cages and now it is largely uneconomical for us to hire small cages. Cages for large dogs are still available. We also have a selection of small cages, but sometimes it is more economical for you to purchase one at a local pet shop |
