Pets fly coach, not cargo

Pet Airways is the first pet only airline where owners are not allowed. The maiden flight took off on July 14, 2009 between New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. Airfares start at USD149 each way. Currently, it seems to be available only in the US of A. Not sure if the price has a child and adult fare category...

Definitely a cool concept as clever marketeers carve a niche for pet owners who are willing to go more than extra miles for their pets , despite the economic downturn. The fact that pets are treated as living things and not "cargo" is a huge appeal, especially to a pet owner like me. For the benefit of all pets and pet owners worldwide, I hope this works out good!
