Pet Airways

Pet Airways. What a concept!

I've always wanted to take my dog back home to San Diego where I grew up. There are a couple of really great dog beaches as well as a ton of great hiking trails.

The car trip from Virginia is prohibitively long and does not allow for enough time to enjoy the destination. When PA announced an affordable pet travel airline, I got excited about planning a trip out there.

What is It?

It is a pet-only airline that allows pets to travel in the main cargo. They are not treated like baggage as on traditional flights. Instead, a dedicated pet attendant checks on your pet throughout the flight in a comfortable temperature-controlled cabin.

Your "pawsenger" is flown in a Beech 1900 turbo-prop airline. Recognized for its safety and reliability, the 19 passenger plane has had the seats and overhead bins removed. Your pet is placed in a private pet carrier secured using a proprietary restraint system especially designed and created by the airline.

Is it Expensive?

With introductory prices starting at $149, it is hard to beat. The peace of mind in knowing that your pet is not in the belly of the cargo hold and is being cared for in a safe and comfortable environment is near priceless.

Protocols and pet handling procedures are conducted under the guidance of famed Lassie veterinarian Dr. Jeff Werber.

What cities are Serviced?

Currently, flight cities serve 5 major metro areas:

Teterboro Airport (New Jersey / New York / Tri-State Area)
Baltimore/Washington International Airport (Baltimore / Washington / Richmond)
Palwaukee/Chicago Executive Airport (Chicago / Milwaukee)
Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (Denver / Colorado Springs / Fort Collins)
Hawthorne Municipal Airport/Los Angeles Executive Airport (Los Angeles / San Diego)
