Pet Airways Takes Flight

July 14, 2009

The first ever all-pet airline, appropriately named Pet Airways, took off today from East Farmingdale, New York. Dogs and cats flew in the main cabin of what is a converted Suburban Air Freight plane. Instead of seats, the cabin is lined with roomy carriers.

Pet Airways is the dream business of husband and wife entrepreneurial team Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel.

Clever idea, don't you think? It's on my list of "wish I'd thought of that's." If any of you ever let your pets travel via the service, please let us know what you think. Would love to hear reviews.
