A New Option for Domestic Pet Travel


There is a new "Pet Only" airline which has made a big splash recently. Obviously it is too soon to tell whether it is a good thing, but it looks like a great option if you fit into their criterion.

The PROS:
  • Seems very reasonably priced (Some are labeled "introductory")
  • They fly from smaller airports, which reduces hassle
  • Someone is there to watch the pets during flight
The CONS:
  • They only fly to a limited number of cities (New York, LA, Chicago, Denver, DC)
  • They only fly each route one day a week
  • No proven track record
The only other thing which causes a bit of concern is that they have attendants take the pets out of their cages en-route. This has the potential to create problems. Other than that, it is great to have options!
