When can I book my pet’s flight?

Airline cargo bookings for pets typically open between 14 and 30 days before departure, depending on the airline, route, and destination. Some airlines — usually Emirates and Qatar Airways — allow booking up to two or three months ahead. Airpets monitors the booking window for your specific route and reserves space the moment it becomes available, then sends you the confirmed itinerary. Because cargo space for live animals is limited and seasonal demand varies, we recommend starting the booking process — quote, documents, vaccinations — several weeks ahead of your preferred travel date, even though the flight itself can often only be confirmed closer to the time.
