How much does it cost to fly a pet within Australia?

On average, domestic flights for pets range from $110 to $600, with additional fees for larger animals or special handling. By Using a professional pet transport service may cost more but ensures compliance with airline and biosecurity regulations. Some factors influencing pet travel costs include:

    Crate size and weight (bigger or heavier pets cost more to transport).
    Flight distance (longer trips or more regional flights incur higher fees).
    If you supply your own carrier, or if you have to hire or buy one.
