If you hate putting your dog in kennels or cat in a cattery while you go on holiday, here's a solution. Book a flight for them on Pet Airways.
At last a pet airline where pets fly in the main cabin, NOT in cargo and they can meet you at your destination.
The airline website says: "When your pet checks in as a pawsenger on one of our flights, there will be a right-sized pet carrier awaiting him to be tucked inside before take off."
Purrrrlease!
The Pet Airways site gives pet owners tips on safe transporting of animals and prepping their pet for a trip with tips such as ensuring their pet carrier is the right size and offers the right canine amenities.
The site advises that pets need:
- Comfy blanket to provide warmth and cushioning on his joints
- Travel water bowl
- Identification on your dog and in the carrier healthy treats, a favorite toy, spare leash and collar, travel bowls, any necessary medications and spare poop bags
Flights are operated by Suburban Air Freight, Inc which operates a fleet of Beech 1900, Beech 99, and Cessna Caravan aircraft and maintains Pratt & Whitney PT6-A engines, so you know your pooch will be in safe hands.
This airline is ideal for the pet owner willing to go the extra (aeronautical) mile.

Finally! I refuse to put my puppy in cargo, so I have driven cross country twice with her. Flying is a lot faster! Can't wait to use this airline.

I think this is such a great idea! It looks so much more comfortable and safe for pets. My only problem is that I need a flight from Indiana to Connecticut and they don't seem to do flights everywhere yet.
