Flying with a cat or dog from Korea: which checks should happen before buying the ticket?

Community listings sometimes offer a pet cargo spot before the traveller has confirmed whether the animal, route, aircraft and destination documents are compatible. Kapy is publishing this as a request for recent experience, not as a transport instruction. If you travelled with a pet from Korea, please explain the order in which you contacted the airline, Korean quarantine office, destination authority and veterinarian; how early each appointment was booked; and which requirements were route-specific. Do not post certificate numbers, microchip numbers, flight booking codes, home addresses or a private broker's contact details. Rules can change by species, destination and carrier, so readers must obtain written confirmation for their own flight before paying for transport.
