Pet Boarding Denver

A bear: All pets rainbow hits air

NEW YORK - A trip for their Jack Russell terrier in the hold of a plane was enough to convince Dan Alysa Binder and Wiesel that the owners need a better option to get their pets from one city to another.

On Tuesday, the first flight of the husband and wife team Airways Company, the first airline pet-all, took off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY

All commercial airlines allow a limited number of small pets to fly in the cabin. Others must travel bags are checked or in the hold - a dark and sometimes dangerous, where temperatures can vary greatly.

Binder and Wiesel used their media consulting and business acumen to start Airways TOE in 2005. The last four years have been spent to design their fleet of five aircraft in light of new requirements on all fours on FAA regulations and the implementation schedules of the airport.

Both say they are overwhelmed by the response. Pet Airways flights are already booked for the next two months.

Pet Airways will fly a pet among the five cities - New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. The $ 250 one way is comparable to the costs of the company's largest airlines of the United States.

For owners of the big difference is service. Dogs and cats will visit the main cabin of an airplane Suburban Air Freight, reorganized and doubled up with carriers of the seats. Pets (50 on each flight) will be escorted to the plane by officers who will check on the animals every 15 minutes during the flight. Pets are also given pre-board walks and go to the toilet. And each of the five airports it serves, the company has created a "Pet Lounge" for the future of leaflets to wait and sniff before flights.

The company will operate in small regional airports in five cities launch, which means an extra trip for most homeowners to file their animals if they fly too. Stops in cities along the way: pets take longer to reach a destination of their owners.

A trip from New York to Los Angeles, for example, takes about 24 hours. In this way, the pet will stop in Chicago, pause bathroom, play time, dinner, and bunk for the night before finishing the trip the next day.

I watched a special feature of this last night. I like the idea. Animals are not treated so great on scheduled airlines. My older sister has a chocolate lab and she wanted to take it to Florida with her to see her best friend. However, it would never take on a regular flight and I fly like that. The conditions are dangerous. I think it's a very clever idea on their part.

I think it's a brilliant idea that airlines have proposed and we hope that all countries will soon

I think it's a great idea. I really hope he is successful (after the novelty fades).

I think its going to be great! not worry much.

I just hope they have fewer problems as we do when the check in.

Great option for those who travel and can afford it. Pets are family members (mine are) and taking care of them and give them a good life is a dream of owner of the animal.
I know I'd be scared to leave my pet in a cargo hold. Excellent idea for our best friends for sure.

Excellent idea! Brilliant, really. One of those ideas that makes you say "Gee, I wish I would have thought of that!"
I can only hope that, like United, which will offer a special "Your companion flies for" free, so my cat can take me with him to New York!
