Pet Airways

Only in America. As this ad shows, Pet Airways is not a joke – it’s for real. There really is an airline dedicated to transporting pets – or “pawsengers” – who travel in the main cabin, not downstairs with all the luggage. The introductory fare from Los Angeles to New York is a very reasonable $US149. A pet attendant checks the animals every 15 minutes and gives them regular “potty breaks”. Much more information here.
