The year-end and New Year holidays are a special time to celebrate the end of the year and the start of a new one. More and more people are saying, "Pets are part of the family, too, and I want to enjoy traveling with them! However, the year-end and New Year's holidays are also the peak of the travel season. However, since the year-end and New Year holidays are the peak of the travel season, more careful preparation is required than for ordinary trips. This article explains the points of caution and preparation unique to the year-end and New Year holidays for those who plan to travel overseas with their pets.
Schedule coordination and early planning unique to the year-end and New Year's holidays
The year-end and New Year's holidays are a time when many people plan to travel, and airline tickets and accommodations tend to fill up. Especially if you are traveling with pets, your options are more limited than usual, so early action is key.
- Arrangement of airline tickets
Only a limited number of flights allow pets, so confirm your reservations early. On popular routes, seats may fill up two to three months before departure. - Securing Accommodation
During the year-end and New Year's holidays, pet-friendly hotels often fill up early, so make reservations as early as possible. It is also a good idea to check cancellation policies. - Role of PetAir
PetAir assists in the selection of pet-friendly flights and accommodations. Advice is provided in anticipation of peak season crowds during the year-end and New Year holidays.
Check year-end and New Year's events and regulations in the destination country
Depending on the destination, unique year-end and New Year's events and holidays may affect your trip. For example, in some countries, transportation may be congested at the end of the year, and animal-related facilities and services may be closed.
- Business days and special regulations during the year-end and New Year holidays (business hours of quarantine stations and veterinary hospitals)
- Availability of events and activities to participate in with pets in the destination country
- Information on events that may be stressful for pets, such as fireworks, parades, etc.
As cities suitable for traveling with pets during the New Year's holiday, it is important to make choices based on climate and ease of living. For example, New York and Paris, despite their cold winters, are attractive cities with pet-friendly cafes, parks, and grand New Year's Eve events.
On the other hand, in Sydney in the southern hemisphere, you can spend a relaxing New Year's holiday with your pet on the beach or in a spacious park during the warm summer weather.
Pet health care and physical condition check
International travel during the year-end and New Year's holidays often involves longer-than-usual travel times and changes in environment. In addition, if you are going to a place where the climate is very different, such as a cold or warm area, it is very important to take care of your pet's physical condition.
- Obtain a physical examination in advance and identify required vaccinations.
- If traveling to a cold region, prepare warm clothing and warming measures
- In warmer areas, stay hydrated and don't forget to protect yourself from the sun.

Don't forget pet care items for the holiday season
It is important to bring items that you are used to using all the time so that your pet will be comfortable while traveling. Especially during the year-end and New Year's holidays, when stores are often closed, remember to prepare the necessary goods.
- Familiar food and treats (including enough in reserve)
- Warm clothing or blankets for pets (in cold weather)
- Items that provide a sense of security, such as toys and pet beds
Prepare for congestion and problems during the year-end and New Year's holidays
Since both people and pets can easily become stressed when traveling during the year-end and New Year holidays, it is important to be prepared for any problems that may arise.
- Microchips and GPS trackers for pets to prevent them from getting lost
- Research local veterinary hospital lists and emergency contacts in advance
- Prepare goods for comfort in the cage in case of flight delays
Conclusion
Traveling abroad with your pet during the year-end and New Year's holidays is a wonderful experience that creates irreplaceable memories. However, it also brings with it the congestion and complicated procedures that only a busy season can bring.
