Can I take my pet on a plane within Australia?

    Yes, you can take your pet on a plane in Australia, but most airlines require pets to travel as cargo rather than in the cabin. Airlines such as Qantas and Virgin Australia allow pet transport through their specialised pet travel services. Virgin Australia is also set to introduce in-cabin pet travel for small dogs and cats by 2025 (pending approval). Tail Travel can assist with guiding you though the airline-specific rules of each airline, as pet travel policies vary. You’ll need an IATA-approved travel crate, and some states may require permits or quarantine measures. To ensure a stress-free journey, use licensed pet transport companies like Tail Travel, which handle airline bookings and pet safety.
