Pet Airline
from Clark Howard:
Calling all pawsengers! And those pawsengers can behave like animals aboard a new airline scheduled to take off soon in the U.S. Pet Airways, the first airline designed specifically for the safe and comfortable transportation of pets, will book pets in the main cabin – and owners are not allowed to go along – even in the cargo hold. Pets (cats, dogs or other pets) can book online and then check into a Pet Lounge at the airport. On its web site, the airline promises never to leave a pet alone adding: “A pet attendant will always be within a cat’s meow.” Pet attendants give the animals a “potty break” shortly before take-off and then monitor the animals during the flight. To accommodate the pets, seats are removed from a 19-seat turbo-prop plane (operated by Suburban Air Freight) to make room for pet carriers. The inaugural flight is scheduled for July 14 with five cities served, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. One-way airfares start from $149. Bone voyage!
