Airborn Pooch: Pet Air is here
Mr. Fido will have the steak tartar and Ms. Kitty would like the tuna tartar. Sounds like a joke but it is a reality now. A "paws only" airline is available for your beloved furry family member. No longer will you have to shove them into a crate and pray that they will be alright when you reclaim them upon arrival. Pet Airways promises a painless and [more importantly] comfortable experience for your pet. This is the Pet Airways promise straight from their website:

We promise to transport your pet with lots of love, care, safety, and comfort in the main cabin.
Pet Airways is the first airline exclusively dedicated to pets - no humans please - and we take the job of providing a comfortable experience for pets very seriously.
We'll do everything in our power to make sure your pets get the best care during their journey because we're committed to taking care of our pet "pawsengers" as if they were our own.


Pretty impressive. So how does it work and what is their flight schedule like? (Also from their website)

1
Drop your pet off at our Pet Lounge, located at the airport. You must check in your pet no later than 2 hours before take off. If you choose, you may check in your pet up to 72 hours before the flight. We’ll be happy to board your pet at our PAWS Lodge until the flight.
2
Potty Breaks are very important to your pet. With the human airlines, your pet could be made to hold themselves for a very very long time. Pet Airways monitors the last time your pet had a potty break, and makes sure that they get regular potty breaks along the way. This means that it may take us longer to get to where we are going, but the care of our pawsengers is our first priority.

3
Pets board the plane and our Pet Attendants make sure they’re all comfortable and that they, and their pet carrier, are secure.
4
A Pet Attendant monitors and checks the comfort of all pawsengers every 15 minutes during the flight. After landing, pets will be disembarked, given a potty break, and will be available for pickup at the Pet Lounge.


5
Pick up your pet at the Pet Lounge at your destination, knowing he or she has traveled comfortably and safely in the main cabin of our plane. If you cannot pick up your pet that day, we will be happy to board your pet overnight at the PAWS Lodge.


The Pet Airways website has some handy pet travel tips as well as the standard ability to book your pet flights AND a pet tracker so you can keep a close eye on where your four legged aviator is at any given time. Naturally, every globetrotting pet has the ability to save money by joining the MyPAWS Club!!
