Dogs traveling on airplanes will no longer need crates or carriers. The American airline BARK Air is launching charter flights for four-legged pets. Of course, people are also taken on board. But first of all, everything here is designed for the convenience of dogs.
The cabin can accommodate 14 people. But the company sells no more than ten tickets per flight, so that there is enough space for both people and dogs. Registration is fast. Dogs will find pillows, blankets, toys, food and drinks on board. You can even have a spa treatment.
A one-way domestic flight costs $6,000. This is the ticket price for one dog and its owner. An international flight will cost $8,000.
Company owner Matt Meeker came up with the idea of transporting dogs comfortably on airplanes ten years ago. He had a Great Dane. Due to the inconvenience of flying with a dog, the man had to give up long-distance travel.
BARK Air currently operates flights to New York, Los Angeles and London. In the near future it plans to add routes to Paris, Milan, Chicago and Seattle. There will also be seasonal flights to Florida and Arizona.
