Airline partnerships
Making pet travel bookable.
Help your passengers navigate international pet travel while unlocking new ancillary revenue opportunities.
Paws Abroad connects the pieces of international pet travel that sit outside the flight: personalized route planning, airline and destination requirements, documentation, timelines, and trusted local services into one coordinated journey.
We're inviting a select number of airline partners to pilot a better way to support passengers traveling with pets.
See how Paws Abroad connects pet-specific travel options, preparation requirements, and expert coordination in one journey.
Give your customers a clearer path from “Can my pet fly?” to “We're ready to travel.”

Booking the passenger is easy. Adding the pet isn't.
For travelers flying internationally with pets, booking a flight is only one piece of the puzzle. They also need to navigate:
Airline-specific pet travel policies and restrictions
Country-specific entry and transit requirements
Veterinary appointments, vaccinations, and health certificates
Time-sensitive documentation and regulatory deadlines
Cabin, accompanied baggage, cargo, and alternative transport options
The airline's part
The flight
Ground handling, customs clearance, and destination support
Today, these steps are fragmented across airlines, government websites, veterinarians, and third-party providers.
That creates uncertainty for passengers and additional complexity for airlines.
Paws Abroad is building the connection between the flight and everything else required to get a pet safely to its destination.
Every pet is different. Every route is different. Their travel plan should be too.
Paws Abroad brings the journey together through personalized planning, digital tools, expert guidance, and an international network of trusted service providers.
Find the right way to travel
Start with the pet, origin, destination, and travel dates.
We help travelers explore suitable transportation options based on their pet's needs, airline policies, and route-specific restrictions.
Understand the requirements
Turn complex airline, veterinary, and destination requirements into a clear, personalized preparation plan.
Know what happens next
Organize important steps, documentation, appointments, and deadlines so travelers understand what needs to happen before departure.
Keep the journey organized
Bring travel details, documents, preparation milestones, and journey status together through our Pawsport planning experience and expert support.
Connect with the right experts
When a journey requires additional assistance, Paws Abroad helps coordinate with veterinarians, ground handlers, relocation specialists, and trusted destination partners.
From the first question to arrival, we help travelers navigate the entire journey, not just the paperwork.
See How Paws Abroad WorksA better passenger experience without becoming a pet relocation company.
Paws Abroad gives airlines an opportunity to extend their passenger offering beyond the flight, without building a dedicated international pet travel operation.
Unlock new ancillary revenue opportunities
Offer passengers access to personalized pet travel planning and paid concierge services through a referral or distribution partnership.
Create a better customer experience
Give pet owners a clear starting point for navigating complex international journeys, rather than sending them across multiple websites and providers.
Support better-prepared passengers
Help customers understand applicable requirements, travel restrictions, documentation, and preparation deadlines before departure.
Reduce fragmented support
Provide an expert resource for pet-specific travel planning and coordination, allowing airline teams to direct appropriate inquiries to a specialist.
Build stronger passenger relationships
Support a highly personal part of the travel experience and create opportunities to serve customers traveling with pets across future journeys.
Commercial performance, passenger readiness, and operational improvements can be evaluated through a jointly designed airline pilot.
The infrastructure behind a connected pet travel journey.
Pet travel isn't simply a documentation problem.
It's a coordination problem involving different airlines, countries, regulations, transportation providers, and service partners.
Paws Abroad is building a pet-first travel platform that connects these moving parts into a more connected customer journey.
Pet-first, not flight-first
We start with the individual pet and route to help identify appropriate travel options, rather than assuming every pet can travel in the same way.
Partner-neutral by design
Depending on the journey, the right solution may involve an airline, veterinarian, ground handler, cargo provider, or specialist relocation partner.
Our role is to connect the right services, not force every journey through one transportation method or provider.
Technology combined with real-world expertise
Our platform is being developed from actual international pet journeys, incorporating the requirements, operational knowledge, and coordination workflows our team handles every day.
A global network for complex journeys
From routine accompanied travel to multi-pet international relocations and private aviation, we coordinate with trusted providers across markets to help customers navigate more complicated travel needs.
One journey. The right partners. A clearer path to travel.
Paws Abroad isn't starting with a theoretical problem.
We already help customers navigate international pet travel through personalized planning, hands-on coordination, and an established network of global service partners.
Now, we're translating that operational experience into reusable digital workflows that can make pet travel easier for travelers, airlines, and industry partners.

Let's Discuss an Airline PilotAirlines remain responsible for their own booking, acceptance, and carriage policies. Paws Abroad complements existing services by helping passengers understand and coordinate the requirements and services surrounding their journey.
We can explore a referral-based pilot through existing airline communication and distribution channels. Deeper technology integrations can be evaluated as the partnership develops.
Paws Abroad offers digital travel planning resources alongside paid Route Reviews and customized concierge services. Airline partners can explore negotiated referral commissions or revenue-sharing arrangements for eligible services.
