When I first heard about this I thought it was a crazy idea but after checking out their website Petairways.com I am sold! I am lucky enough that my four legged babies (pictured above) are small enough to travel with us…..under the seat in front of us. Now those of you with medium or larger size dogs have the option of buying them a ticket on their very own airline! No more cargo bin for Fido! I have heard that some dogs are never quite the same after flying in an airplane cargo bin and I believe it because I hear those poor dogs. I can actually hear them while I am sitting in the back galley of the plane. Sometimes they cry the entire flight! I’m sure you’re skeptical like I was but check out their site, Petairways.com and this price comparison chart. This chart is what sold me! I had no idea it cost so much to carry your pet on the plane…..another benefit of being a FA, my pets fly free too: ) Pet Airways prices start at $149. each way, extremely comparable to what it would cost to carry your pet on board and sometimes cheaper than cargo on some airlines.
I wonder if there is inflight entertainment, maybe 101 Dalmations?

What a great idea!
When we moved from Barcelona to the US, our cat had to fly in the cargo area. Although she was sedated it took a toll on her. Although forteen years later she still manages to get herself in trouble! Well, not trouble because one of the benefits of seniority is that I let her get away with everything.. 🙂
I knew I liked you Albert…nice to older ladies! At her age she deserves to do anything she wants! When I moved, to TX and then again to Fl six months later, FP helped me move my 2 seventeen year old kitties, both times they were under the seat and sedated. It was our second attempt, the first time they got “sick” in the car, on the way to the airport (they don’t make immodium AD for Cats]…my oldest, MS Kittsy took forever too recover, I promised her I would never ever do that to her again…and I didn’t, even though I wanted to come back to New England. She passed in FL at 19, is laid to rest in FP’s sister’s yard with her brother who passed 6 months before her. Flying is not meant for animals, that is for sure! Wish they could live forever, 19 years just wasn’t long enough.
I love that story Albert!
