Travelling the world is a magical experience, but when you plan to take your pets, it can be an absolute nightmare, often involving a heartbreaking scene of leaving them alone inside the airplane’s cargo, or else at home with a dog sitter. But K9 Jets is here to help you with exclusive flights for pets!
Flights for pets
Wonderfully, travel for pet owners has been made easier by new airline K9 Jets. The pet-friendly unique private jet charter service, founded in the United Kingdom, welcomes both dogs and cats on flights. The service is particularly tailored to the relocation of pets to provide stress-free travel. On K9 Jets, dog owners can perch their dogs in a seat next to them in the cabin while cats must be placed in a carrier.
The emergence of K9 Jets means that pets no longer need to travel in cargo or in a cage to get to destinations globally. Flights are currently offered on routes between many West and East Coast American cities and London, Paris, Dubai, Nice, and Lisbon, to name a few. Meanwhile, Melbourne is set to be added to the list of destinations this year.
In fact, more than 1000 puppies and passengers flew with the airline last year in its first year of operations.
How it works
K9 Jets offers a pay-per-seat private jet experience between these cities. This allows pet owners to book seats for themselves and up to two pets, at no extra cost, including snacks, taxes, drinks from a bar, and refreshments in the ticket price.
Although, there’s a catch: it’s pretty expensive. Seats on the flights for pets cost between US $8000 and $10,000. Regardless, prices have not put many off, with sold-out routes across the board over the next few months. And, for those who can afford it, can you really put a price on love for your furry friend?
Each flight is funded on demand. This means that once 75% of seats are booked, you will be notified that your trip is secured. If a route does not go ahead due to low bookings, 100% refunds are provided. Passengers must register their interest via K9 Jets website for knowledge on routes.
At present, there’s no word whether K9 Jets plans to bring their flights for pets to Singapore but we will be the first to inform you if they do. Book on the website.
