New Pet AirlineTakes the Worry Out of Unsafe Pet Travel

Roz Zurko
The worst thing about air travel with your pets is the worry you endure while they are below you in compartments that are cold and dark. Travel plans that include pets are very prevalent today. The conditions of an aircraft's cargo hold is an obstacle when planning your trip with your pets safety in mind. Many opt to motor to vacation spots to spare our pets from experiencing such a fate. Times are "a changing" and this is good news for the millions of pet owners around the country.

Fox News Channel reports that there is finally an airline that took our concerns for our pet's traveling safety to heart. "Pet Airways" is a new airline that caters only to our four legged friends. The cabin of the aircraft is set up to carry just pets. Each flight has an experienced pet attendant that walks the isle and interacts with your pet every 15 minutes. The comfort provided by this interaction is something you would never find among the suitcases and luggage in the underbelly of a regular passenger airline.

Your pet's flight experience starts when you drop them off at the counter of Pet Airways. They have an area where the pets are cared for and even walked if there is some time lapse before the flight. This is also true on the other end of your pets destination. Flight delay from your airline? No problem, pets are watered, feed, walked and cared for while waiting for their owners to retrieve them.

Pet Airways serves five US cities, with plans to expand very soon to many more. There are plans to offer this air service in Canada within the very near future. The cities they fly to now are - NYC, Denver, Chicago, LA, and Washington DC.

Flights start at $149 dollars for a one way trip. Depending on the length of your stay, this can be about as much as you would pay to board your pet in a kennel for the duration of your vacation. This is a service that can be used when adopting or purchasing a pet from someplace far away from your home.

It is about time someone solved the problem of unsafe air travel for our pets. There has been a need for this safe alternative for air travel for our loved four legged family members. Thank you Pet Airways for providing the solution to that need.
