Pets-Only Airline

Traveling with companion animals can often be a traumatic experience for all parties involved. Airlines often relegate beloved cats and dogs to the cargo hold along with suitcases, skis, and strollers. No one even checks in on them until they’ve reached their final destination and there’s definitely no such thing as a “bathroom break.” But now Count Pounce and Barky will be sitting pretty, thanks to the innovative services offered by Pet Airways. Not only does the airline assign an attendant to each “pawsenger”—to use the official airline terminology—but guardians can use an online tracker to monitor their travel progress. The downside? Pet Airways doesn’t allow “pet parents” on board, so you’ll have to find your own transportation.
