    New airline for pets only

    What a great idea! An airline just for pets! Critters fly in the cabin (in carriers) with a flight attendant, not in cargo.

    They just serve a few cities now, but this could come in very handy for long-distance pet adoptions.

    Is this real?? I kept looking all over the site for anything that looked amiss, but it looks legit...all I can say is - it's a great idea!

    Pets have been treated like cargo for too long. I would NEVER subject mine to the current flight arrangements on commercial air lines.

    I wish they would get a route from San Francisco to somewhere near Findlay, Ohio. Then I could bring the puppers to a Findlay event!!
    This is a very cool thing. I hope it is successful and continues to grow.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh, my, I'd better hide the credit card, or my crew will be booking flights all over the place to visit their PT friends! I wonder whether there'll be a special PT charter plane for special occasions.

    You got it!!! I spend more for my dogs than I do for myself. More at the "beauty parlor", more at the vet (no medical insurance for them), more per pound for food since they get the expensive little containers of meat for little dogs. Geeze - I should treat myself so good..............

    That's how Lexi Joon flew to Kym Goodnow. They are totally in the cabin not baggage, with a flight attendant. I wouldn't have let her go any other way.

    Wow! We'll have to remember this for the next Catmobile excursion. Maybe they can get a group rate. For those who prefer not to fly (like a certain Meowmie) Amtrack still comes into Trenton.

    That would be perfect if/when I decide to move to CA. I've often wondered how I'd get the Fur Posse cross country. I haven't checked out the link to see if they'd go that far but maybe by the time I'm ready and can afford it they will.
    Blessings,
