Pet Friendly Jet Charter
There are so many ways to travel with pets. Driving, cruise ships, commercial air travel, and if you can afford it,
a private jet just for you and your furry friends. Of course, the cost for private jets are substantially more expensive
than the alternatives. Keep in mind, you are reserving the entire plane just for your flight, on your schedule, and you have your
very own private pilots. This does come at a cost which can run from a few thousand on shorter intrastate trips to tens of thousands
across the country, or even hundreds of
thousands to cross the ocean. Every trip is different depending on the duration of the flight, how many passengers are flying and
the size and number of pets accompanying you. It will certainly be a trip not soon to be forgotten; a special experience for both you and your
best friends.

Why charter a private jet for you and your pet?
There are many different reasons for chartering a private aircraft to fly with your pet instead of flying on a commercial airline.
Size – In today’s world of shrinking airline seats, it is getting more and more difficult to take your pet in the cabin of the aircraft.
If your best friend is over 15 pounds or more than 12 inches tall, then it will probably have to fly in the cargo hold
(depending on the airline). This section of the cargo is pressurized and temperature controlled,
but you might be concerned about putting your pet in the cargo hold of a commercial airline.
Summer/Winter Embargoes – During the summer when temperature exceeds 84 degrees
F on the runway, many airlines will not accept a pet as checked
baggage or as cargo. During the colder months, airlines
will not transport your pet if the temperatures fall below
45 degrees F.
Number of Pets Traveling with You – Most airlines limit you
to one pet per passenger in the cabin. If you have multiple pets or the pets are traveling unaccompanied, then they will need to travel as checked baggage
or as cargo.
Breed of Pet – Many airlines will not accept snub nose breeds such as Persian cats, Bulldogs, Pugs and Shih-Tzus in the cargo hold as they may develop breathing
problems at high altitudes.
Immigration Requirements – Many countries like the UK will only allow pets to fly commercially as manifest (air)
cargo and not in the cabin.

pet in the hold of the aircraft?
