Last year, I had to fly cross-country with my golden retriever, Max, and honestly, figuring out the whole “pet-friendly” thing stressed me out at first. I ended up using Expedia, and it made the process surprisingly easy. When booking my flight, I just filtered for pet-friendly hotels and checked the “pets allowed” option—it instantly narrowed down my choices. For flights, I booked as usual and then called the airline directly to add Max to the reservation since most carriers require confirmation for in-cabin pets.
One thing I learned the hard way: always double-check the airline’s pet policy after booking, especially for size or carrier restrictions. When my plans changed, I used Expedia’s customer support to modify the booking—they were super quick and handled the airline communication for me. Honestly, if you’re traveling with pets, using Expedia keeps everything—flights, hotels, and changes—under one simple dashboard.
