Flying can be safe for dogs . . .

Did you know there is an airline specifically for pets? Yes! It’s called Pet Airways. On this airline, dogs can fly in the cabin making holiday travel a little easier. Here’s how it works:

1- Reserve a flight. Pet Airways rates range from $99 to $249. These prices are affordable, especially during the holidays.

2- Drop off your pet. Take your dog to the Pet Lounge of Pet Airways at least 2 hours before take off. If you need to drop him off earlier (up to 72 hours), you can. Pet Airways will provide lodging.

3- Your pet goes potty. Prior to the flight (less than 2 hours), your dog will be given a potty break. This way, he will be comfortable throughout travel.

4- Pets board the plane. Your dog along with the other travelers are put in pet carriers and loaded into the main cabin of Pet Airways. Pet attendants make sure they are safe and secure.

5- One person stays aboard. A Pet Attendant stays aboard Pet Airways at all times. This person checks on your dog every 15 minutes making sure he is okay. After the plane lands, your dog will be disembarked and given another potty break.

6- You get to pick up your pet. Your dog can stay overnight at the PAWS lodge if necessary.

As you can see, the entire process is pretty simple. Now, your pet dog can travel to the same destinations you go to on vacation, comfortably and in style. Book a flight today at PetAirways.com.
