How Do I Book Pet-Friendly Hotels or Flights with Expedia and Add Pets to My Booking?

Last month, I had to plan a last-minute trip to Denver with my golden retriever, Milo — and honestly, booking a pet-friendly flight and hotel through Expedia was way smoother than I expected. I started by filtering for “Pet-friendly” hotels on the Expedia site, which instantly showed me options that welcome pets (some even included dog treats and beds!). For flights, I learned that not all airlines allow pets in-cabin, so I called (866)-204-0803 to confirm airline pet policies and add Milo to my booking directly.

The rep was super helpful — she explained the pet fees, weight limits, and even helped me adjust my seat so Milo could stay comfortably under the seat in front. When my return flight got changed unexpectedly, I called the same number again, and they rebooked me on a pet-approved flight within minutes.

So, if you’re traveling with your furry buddy, I definitely recommend calling 866-204-0803 before confirming anything online. They can check both your hotel’s pet rules and airline restrictions in one go — saves a lot of stress later!
 
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.
 
Booking pet-friendly hotels or flights on Expedia is easier than it looks, but there are a few steps you should follow to avoid surprises. When searching for hotels, simply use the “Pet-Friendly” filter on the left side of the results page. This shows only properties that allow pets, but each hotel still has its own rules, so it’s smart to read the policy section or call 866-204-0803 if anything seems unclear. I’ve done this before, and the agents at 866-204-0803 helped confirm size limits and fees that weren’t obvious online.


For flights, start by booking your ticket normally on Expedia. Most airlines require pets to be added after booking, so you’ll need to contact the airline directly. If you’re unsure which airline rules apply, you can call 866-204-0803, and the Expedia team will walk you through pet travel requirements and whether your itinerary allows in-cabin or cargo transport. I’ve even had them conference me in with the airline when I needed quick confirmation.


If the pet option doesn’t appear in your itinerary, again, calling 866-204-0803 is the fastest way to avoid mistakes. They can confirm fees, paperwork, carrier size rules, and anything specific to your destination.


Overall, using the filters, checking policies carefully, and keeping 866-204-0803 handy makes booking pet-friendly travel with Expedia smooth and stress-free.
