A Pet Only Airlines is set to launch

We've seen several stories over the past couple of years about pet mishaps before, during and after flying with their owners,
like this one in 2008 and this one from 2007 and then there was the cat who arrived at it's destination frozen in March of this year.

It has to be a concern for pet owners when they consider taking their pet with them on a trip or during a move, and, although many airlines have become much more pet friendly in recent months, many airlines limit the number and size of pets that are allowed on a flight and in a cabin so pet owners have the option of checking them into cargo or fitting them under their seats.

However, pets have become such a part of our families that many pet owners are willing to pay extra to insure their safety and comfort.

Well, Pet Airways is banking on this willingness, launching a new airlines in July of this year.

It is a pets-only airline and they have some very cool pet features, pets fly in the cabin, never in cargo and they are attended to by flight attendants that make sure they are comfy and secure, have regular potty breaks.

They also have special, healthy pet food and are monitored every 15 minutes. They also have a pet tracking system through their website.

And the cost for this special pet treatment? When they launch they have special fares starting at $149 each way between cities like New York and Los Angeles or LA to Chicago. You can find out more by visiting their website: http://www.petairways.com.

Just curious, would you spend more and let your pets fly by themselves to ensure their comfort and safety? Let us know.
