Imagine taking a vacation and never having to leave your furry friend behind. Well, that dream may soon become a reality! Virgin Airlines has just announced their plans to allow pets in the cabin during flights, making them the first airline in Australia to offer this unique service.
Jayne Hrdlicka, the CEO of Virgin Airlines, shared her enthusiasm for this new venture, saying, “Our love for animals has always been in the Virgin Australia DNA, and we are excited at the prospect of taking off with Australia’s first-ever pets in cabin flights. It’s something that commonly happens overseas and is proven to work well.”
So, how will it all work? Small dogs and cats that can fit into a carrier placed under the seat in front of the passenger will be welcome on board. These furry passengers will not roam freely during the flight, as an approved carrier will be utilized. While the cost of this service has not been disclosed yet, a reasonable fee will be charged to those who qualify.
So, get ready to embark on your next adventure with your beloved pet by your side. Thanks to Virgin Airlines, the days of leaving our furry friends behind are coming to an end. Soon, we’ll be able to enjoy the perfect getaway, complete with our four-legged companions.
