🐾 Pet Nanny Requirement

All live cargo flights arriving in the United States require our Pet Nanny escort service ($800, flat per booking) — it is automatically added to your quote and cannot be removed. A dedicated nanny handles check-in, monitors your pet through every connection, and hands them off at arrival. For arrivals outside the U.S. the Pet Nanny is optional and can be selected under Crates & Add-Ons.
