Should I book my own flight before or after I book my pet’s?

Book your pet’s travel first, before you book your own flight. Pet cargo bookings are limited per aircraft and depend on factors such as crate size, weather, and breed restrictions, so confirming your pet’s flight first ensures the dates work. Where possible, Airpets recommends owners travel a day or two ahead of their pet so you’re at the destination to receive them; this also means you’re not relying on a connecting flight that could be missed if your own travel is disrupted.
