Has anyone heard of
PetAirways? Apparently they are a pet-only airline, where your pet rides in the main cabin of the plane, rather than the cargo area. It's definitely an interesting concept, but I wonder what the main differences between the main cabin and the cargo area would be on a plane that is just for pets. Obviously the cabin is not going to be equiped with reclining seats and a convenient reading light for Theo's leisure. But temperature sound control would be a definite plus.
Would I do it? Probably not. But I think it's a really neat idea, and a decidedly better option that cargo shipping your pup. Plus, I think it's neat that you can track your puppy's progress.
Flights start in July. Would anybody consider PetAirways for their pet traveling needs?
I'd have to look into it. Haven't heard about it. But I think I'd like the concept of being able to fly with Koda with me in coach rather than him in the cargo area. He came from Alabama when he was 9 weeks old in cargo and later I heard horror stories of how some pets are treated when flying by handlers, etc. I can only hope he wasn't treated like that. I do know he was the last off the plane after passengers and luggage, that didn't seem right. I'd be tempted to use it if there was a lot of dignity afforded them and they weren't just a piece of luggage tossed aside. And the thing is, it wasn't cheap to send him cargo; several hundred dollars.
ReplyDeletehave a good weekend!
betty
hmm maybe if i was moving somewhere far away, but definitely not for just a trip.. I'd be too nervous having him flying in the air without me if it wasn't necessary.
