Fido and Fluffy fly in exclusive comfort

Many people want to travel with their pets, but most airlines insist of putting the animals in cramped cages in baggage compartments. Long flights were very stressful for pets not accustomed to tight confinement. Additionally, where small pets were permitted to ride in passenger cabins, many non-pet people objected. Would you believe now there’s an airline that's pet-only? Pet Airways flies to five major cities, including New York and Los Angeles. The only humans aboard are the flight crew and flight attendants.

Along with favorite toys and travel bag, cats and dogs of all sizes can travel in comfort. Each one will have a roomy private compartment, and will be accompanied by trained animal care attendants. Food, water, aisle walks and toilet breaks will also be provided.

It won’t be cheap for Fido and Fluffy to fly in luxurious comfort. Ticket prices start at $149 each way. For more information, go to petairways.com

Airport Security: Passengers Forget Nearly $1 Million In Valuables PDF Print E-mail


According a TSA report, passengers who are required to put belongings in those plastic boxes are very forgetful. While going through security last year, they neglected to claim over $765 thousand in loose change, paper money, credit cards and other valuables.

And the careless trend rises, now double what it was a decade ago. Not that seniors are the most forgetful air passengers, but next time you fly, be thorough. Make sure to empty all of your belongings out of that plastic box at the end of the security line.
