Unlike conventional airlines, Pet Airways will not consign its four-legged flyers to the cargo hold.
Instead, the pets, called ‘pawssengers’, will ride in the main cabins of specially converted planes.
Cats and dogs are able to enjoy pre-boarding walks and at each of the five airports Pet Airways serves, there is even a pet lounge providing pre-flight entertainment.
Upon boarding, the jetsetters are escorted by pet attendants who see to their every need during the flight.
The first flight from New York to Los Angeles was a success, Pet Airways says.
