Comment on Pet airlines, pet pyjamas – why? by deborah

Transporting pets in standard cargo is stressful and dangerous for the animals. While I’d prefer an airline that allows me to fly with my dogs (in the passenger compartment), the pet-only airline is a good second choice. It’s not about the “first class” treatment, it’s about making sure my animals are safe monitored, comfortable, fed and watered, and have some human company to reduce the stress of unfamiliar surroundings. “Pet-only airline” is really just a cutesy term for animal air transport. Pet Airways appears to have reasonable pricing. See also: http://tinyurl.com/djwncw

As for what to do with my dogs when we’re away: no way in hell would I kennel them. I’m lucky enough to have dog-friendly family and friends who will trade pet-sitting with us (our dogs go to their homes). If I didn’t, I’d probably opt for either a house sitter (college students come cheap), or a service that provides a home-like environment for them. At home, they have beds, couches, people, sounds, etc., why should they be isolated in a completely foreign and uncomfortable kennel environment just because we’re off on vacation?

I also wondered if this was a late April 1st joke. Not checked out the actual site yet, so am wondering what the cost of these pet flights will be.

One thing that I can’t get my head round with regards to pets and airline travel is this:
Flying on the mainland USA, baby’s can travel for FREE if they sit on the lap. But take a small pet in a pet carrier that sits under the seat (just like any other carry on luggage) and you get charged at least $80 each flight. Oh well, airlines have many strange rules.

Richard Branson does quite a lot to operate his businesses in a sustainable way. He has done a lot to make rail travel more desirable through his Virgin Trains franchise. He has also run one of his aircraft on bio-fuel. However the issue of bio-fuels is down as an issue for a future post on my blog.
