Getting Cat Through Quarantine/Customs at Incheon Airport
Does anyone know if there is a certain time of day that I would have to arrive in order to take a pet through quarantine/customs at Incheon Airport?
For background, I'm planning to bring my cat in-cabin on a Korean Air flight from Sydney to Seoul at the end of August. I was advised by a pet transport company that that "because Korean Air flight lands after 5pm... pets cannot clear customs the same evening and have to spend a night at ICN airport". Is this correct, or can I go through the quarantine/customs process at anytime of day?
Of course, I will have all of my cat's documents ready before he gets to Korea (health certificate, virus test etc) so that he will be able to clear quarantine and customs.
Edit: I will be moving to South Korea for my Masters, which is why I'm taking my cat. And also, I was already advised by Korean Air that there I can take my flight in the cabin on this specific flight.
