Companion Air
Taking my dogs with me to Mexico was an incredibly stressful experience for everyone involved. Packing my dogs into kennels, checking them in as baggage, and then wondering if they were going to transfer planes safely and make it to our destination was almost more than I could handle.
When travelling by air, you have to worry about finding an airline that packs your dogs into a cargo area that is pressurized and temperature controlled just like the passenger cabin. When I was flying, there was only one airline that offered this comfort for dogs. As Mr. Meaty is a pug, he cannot travel in a compartment that is not temperature controlled as heat can be very dangerous due to possible breathing difficulties.
If all of this sounds like a nightmare, you might be happy to know that a new airline is soon to make it’s debut who lets your dogs (pets) fly in a special cabin designed just for them. During flight, one animal at a time is allowed to come visit their humans if needed.
Operating on flexible scheduling and working with smaller airports and jet-prop aircraft, Companion Air will be able to offer pet owners faster more comfortable travel with their pets.
Companion Air is hoping to launch within a few months, so keep an eyeball on their website if this service intrigues you.
