You could go on a trip with your furry friend by your side, without having to think about leaving them behind or finding a pet sitter. With their plans to let pets in the cabin on their planes, Virgin Airlines is making this a reality. They would be the first company in Australia to do something like this, and it could happen as soon as next year.
Eighty-five percent of people who answered the poll liked the idea, and 57 percent said they would fly more often if they could bring their pets with them. CAO Jayne Hrdlicka says this move fits with the airline’s “pet-friendly DNA.”
Small dogs and cats that can fit under the seat in front of the passenger will be allowed as long as they are in an approved carrier. This will make sure that everyone has a safe and comfy trip. There will be a fee, but the specifics have not been revealed yet.
Concerns, like allergies, are being looked into by Virgin Airlines, and the company says that it will have little of an effect on people who don’t bring pets. There will be strict rules in place to make sure that everyone has a smooth flight.
People who want to travel the world with their pets now have more options thanks to this exciting development. It’s clear that Virgin Airlines is paving the way for a more open and pet-friendly flying experience as the company works out the details.
