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.

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.
