Taking care of their "Pawsengers"...

Terrified of putting your dog on a plane? Can you imagine the thought of having your pet put in a cold cargo area of an airplane and possibly having to sedate him? When will he go to the "relieve" himself? It is amazing how far pet care has come and traveling on a plane for your pet isn’t near as tramatic on him or you anymore!

Pet Airways is a pet-only airline that has dedicated themselves to pet-friendly travel making it safe and comfortable for your pet. Your pet will fly in the main cabin of the airplane, not in the cargo area! Pet Airways is located and based in Delray Beach, Florida.

There is a process after booking your pet’s reservation. You drop off your pet at the lounge which is located at the airport. You must check your pet in no later than two hours before take off. Your pet will take his potty break before boarding the airplane and then the attendants will monitor the time making sure that your dog will be able potty at a regular time. No more holding it in that little cage as with other airlines. Your pet boards the plane and is ready for wonderful experience. The Pet Attendant monitors and checks the comfort of your pet every fifteen minutes. After landing, your pet will leave the plane, be allowed to take another potty break and will be available then for pick up in the Pet Lounge.

Your pet will fly in a Beech 1900 airplane that has the look and feel of a human airplane. The Beech 1900 is a 19 passenger plane that has had the “human” furnishings removed, no seats, no overhead bins. Pets are placed in their own personal pet carrier (and with their favorite dog toy or stuffed animal for comfort) and are secured by the restraint system designed and created by Pet Airway.

There are many cities that Pet Airways travels ~ between New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver and LA and has destinations on the horizon.

There are rules and regulations of course for having a pet friendly plane, and tips that you might need. You can find those at the Pet Airways website.

Pet Airways is proud to put the care of their “pawsengers” as their first priority.
