At DogFriendlyFlights.com, we believe that pet owners deserve clear, accurate, and trustworthy information. Whether you’re preparing for Virgin pet flights, researching the cost of flying with dogs, or curious about how airlines overseas allow pets in the cabin, our editorial process is designed to put credibility and transparency first.
✈️ Our Mission
Our goal is to make dog-friendly air travel easier to understand. Australian travellers have long been without options for dogs on planes, and as airlines like Virgin Australia prepare to introduce pet-in-cabin flights, it’s more important than ever to have reliable resources.
We publish guides, updates, and stories to help you prepare — all backed by research, expert sources, and the experiences of real travellers.
How We Create Content
Every article published on DogFriendlyFlights.com follows a clear editorial process:
- Research – We start with official sources such as Virgin Australia’s announcements, government regulations, and international airline policies.
- Writing – Our content team has experience in both tourism and pet-friendly travel, ensuring our guides are practical and user-friendly.
- Fact-Checking – Before publication, articles are reviewed against airline websites, government resources, and industry guidelines.
- Editing – Content is checked for clarity, accuracy, grammar, and reader value.
- Review & Updates – We schedule regular content reviews, especially for policy-based articles where details can change quickly.
Accuracy & Transparency
We take accuracy seriously. If we reference an airline policy, cost figure, or travel requirement, we link directly to the original source. We avoid speculation and clearly mark future developments (e.g., Virgin flights with pets are expected but not yet confirmed).
If you spot an error, we welcome corrections at hello@dogfriendlyflights.com. We commit to reviewing flagged content promptly.
Independence & Editorial Integrity
DogFriendlyFlights.com is an independent publisher. While we may feature affiliate links to booking platforms or pet travel products, these do not influence our editorial decisions. We will never recommend a product, service, or airline policy we don’t believe benefits our readers.
All affiliate partnerships are disclosed on relevant pages, in line with advertising standards.
Experience Matters
We follow Google’s E-E-A-T framework:
- Experience – Our contributors are dog owners and travellers who understand the realities of flying and holidaying with pets.
- Expertise – Backed by research from trusted sources, including airlines, veterinarians, and government agencies.
- Authoritativeness – Supported by PawTripper.com.au, Australia’s established guide to dog-friendly travel.
- Trustworthiness – Transparent, accurate, and accountable content at all times.
Updates & Corrections
Airline policies change, often with little notice. To keep our readers informed:
- Key pages are reviewed at least once every three months.
- Major announcements (e.g., Virgin pet travel launch dates) are updated within days.
- Outdated content is flagged or rewritten.
When corrections are made, we aim to note the change clearly.
Our Content Types
We publish several kinds of articles:
- Guides – step-by-step resources on flying with pets, booking policies, and travel tips.
- News Updates – timely information on Virgin announcements or global pet travel changes.
- Stories & Tips – first-hand accounts from pet owners who’ve flown with dogs, especially in the U.S. and Europe.
- Editorial Features – opinion pieces or comparisons that analyse pet-friendly travel trends.
