Description

Additional information.

• Reviews (0)

The Airline Approved Carrier is modified to meet the standards of IATA (International Air Transport Association) for transporting live animals and have international airline approval. These crates have been extensively evaluated, the cages are made from quality durable 3 mm injected molded plastic. This makes cleaning of the cage easier, removes quarantine concerns that arise from wood cages when used for international travel, minimises disease transfer from cages not properly cleaned,reduces overall weight and is considered durable for reuse.  Cages come in two halves, making long term storage easier. Metal screws and nuts are used to join top and bottom halves. Plastic screws can break and come apart. Many airlines and transport companies will not accept cages with plastics clips or screws. Suitable for: Dogs & Cats

Hints and Tips

The length of your pet (L) must be taken from the tip of the nose to the base of the tall. The height of your pet (H) is from the top of the head to the ground. If your pet has ears that are erect (e.g. German Shepherd), you need to measure from tip of ears to ground (especially when entering the UK). Both measurements must be taken when your pet is standing erect. • Add 5 cm to both measurement (L) and (H), and that is the length and height your pet’s travel crate needs to be.

Dog Carriers, Crates & Barriers

Travelling with pets

Cats, dogs and small caged birds can travel as checked-in baggage on all domestic flights around New Zealand provided they fly in pet carriers suitable for air travel .  

Add your pet to your domestic flight booking

If you have a domestic flight booked with Air New Zealand, please complete this form to request that your pet is added to your booking. You will need the following information:

• Your six-character booking reference (found on your flight confirmation emails and itinerary)
• Weight of pet
• Weight of pet's carrier
• Your contact details

If your booking is for a regional route and includes more than one pet carrier per person, you'll need to pre-book your pets to  travel as cargo due to the space limitations of our smaller turbo-prop aircraft.

Weigh your pet and the carrier

To help us plan for your pet's travel, we need to know the weight of your pet (to the nearest kilogram) as well as the weight of your pet's carrier. If in doubt, it's best to round upwards so that we can have accurate information for our loading teams.

See how much it costs

The pet carriage fee is payable at the airport and reflects the special treatment required to ensure the safety of your pet.

How much you need to pay depends on the size of your pet.

For bookings made before 23 May 2024:

• For pets up to 25kg: NZD $75
• For pets over 25kg: NZD $100

For bookings made after 23 May 2024:

• A flat fee of NZD $120 for all pet sizes

Book an extra bag (if needed)

To help us calculate and plan for your pet's travel in the hold, we consider your pet's checked-in carrier as part of your baggage allowance. 

Tip : when booking your flight, look for a fare with baggage allowance.

If the carriage of your pet results in you exceeding your baggage allowance, you can upgrade your booking to a seat+bag fare, or pre-pay for the  extra bag  prior to arriving at the airport and before check-in closes.

If you choose not to pre-pay for the extra bag, then the  excess baggage charge  and the pet carriage fee will both be payable at the airport.

If you are an Airpoints Gold, Elite or Koru member, you may be entitled to an additional bag at no charge.

Prepare your pet's travel carrier

We will not accept carriers where the animal is unable to naturally stand, sit up, turn around and lay down. 

For your pet's comfort and safety during their flight,  all pets  must travel in carriers that meet the current  standards approved by the International Air Transport Association  (IATA).

Get the right carrier size and set-up for your pet:

• When standing outside the carrier,   no part of your pet should be taller or longer than the carrier.
• When inside the carrier, they shouldn't have to duck to see out of the carrier door. The carrier should also be wide enough for your pet to turn around easily and long enough for them to lie down comfortably with their paws extended.
• The carrier must be fitted with a small water container that is fillable from the outside of the carrier. 
• For your pet's comfort and to avoid mess, the carrier floor must be lined with absorbent material such as paper, shredded newspaper or puppy pee pad.
• If the carrier does not meet our size and construction requirements , we will not accept the pet to board on your flight, and it may need to be rebooked for a later flight or day of travel, which could incur additional expenses. 

Animals per carrier

If you're travelling with more than one pet in a carrier, you need to meet these requirements:

• Only kittens and puppies over 8 weeks will be accepted for travel
• A mother and her litter are acceptable provided the kittens or puppies are over 8 weeks
• Up to 3 weaned kittens or puppies if from the same litter and less than 6 months old, and not over 14 kg each
• Maximum two adult pets of comparable size up to 14kg each per carrier. Pets must be familiar with each other and used to living together.
• Only 1 animal per carrier if exceeding 14 kg
• The carrier must meet our requirements and be fit for purpose

Familiarise your pet with the carrier

Ideally, your pet should be familiarised with their travel carrier at least two weeks before travel. This will help your pet feel more secure and comfortable, and reduce anxiety levels for both you and your pet. 

On the day of the flight

Help your pet get ready to travel.

After checking that your pet looks healthy and fit for travel, it's time to get ready for the flight. 

• Give your pet a light meal and a little water no less than two hours prior to departure, keeping in mind that travelling on a full stomach can cause motion sickness for pets. 
• You must put adequate absorbent material such as a puppy pee pad in the carrier. You may also wish to include a small comfort blanket or an old shirt with your scent on it.
• Before you place your pet in the carrier, make sure they have had plenty of opportunities to go to the toilet and stretch and exercise.
• Remember to put a small treat or favourite toy as well as their leash in your carry-on bag so that you can reward them at the end of their journey.

Before check-in

Please arrive at the airport 60 minutes prior to your flight's departure.  If you haven't checked in online already, please check in passengers before taking your pet to either the Special Assistance or Oversized Baggage counter (depending on the airport).

Staff will then check that the pet's carrier meets the requirements and the pet and carrier will be weighed and payment taken.

Important : we may refuse your pet's travel if the carrier does not meet the size and construction requirements .

Remember that every airport has a different configuration of where to take your pet for check-in and regulations on how your pet can arrive at the airport. 

• From Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Nelson or Queenstown , your pet must be in their carrier before arriving at the terminal
• From a New Zealand regional airport (excluding Nelson), your pet can be on a leash and placed in the carrier at check-in

After your pet has been checked in

The Air New Zealand ground staff who load the pets onboard at the departure airport and unload at the arrival airport are trained in pet travel and will do what they can to minimise stress for your furry or feathered friend.

Before being loaded on the aircraft, your pet will wait in a special area separated from the rest of the checked-in baggage. 

Generally, pets will be last to be loaded onto the flight to avoid any lengthy waits on the tarmac.

Before the flight, the pilot is given information about the loaded cargo including any animals onboard. 

Your pet will be secured in a climate-controlled space in the aircraft hold which, just like an aircraft cabin, is pressurised for their comfort. The lights are dimmed during the flight, which helps to keep pets calm.

Arrival and pick up

Your pet will be carried into the baggage arrival area by one of our team. This may be before, during or after other baggage has been delivered to the baggage claim area, depending on the airport.

To be mindful of other passengers and airport regulations, please do not let your pet out of its carrier until you have left the terminal building.

Your pet's carrier will have cable ties securing the door. If your pet is not an escape artist, you can ask one of our ground staff or the airport helpdesk team to locate some scissors to cut the ties before the next part of your journey.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
