FLYING CATS AND DOGS
Our readers who are pet owners may be interested to learn that Air Canada and its subsidiary Air Jazz is now allowing passengers to bring a cat or small dog into the cabin of the aircraft. Pet travel is set to become the new airline gimmick.
The cost will be $50 for flights in North America and $100 on international sectors. Guide dogs will travel free.
Depending on the type of aircraft only 2-4 animals will be allowed per flight so as not to upset passengers with allergies.
The cats or dogs must not weigh more than 22lbs or 10 kg, including the transit box and must fit under the seat. This rule will obviously rule out Great Danes or German Shepherds!
Personally, I am not sure of the advantage. Most dogs and cats travel quite happily in the pressurised baggage hold. I suppose Fido or Tabby could enjoy some tidbits in-flight from their owners food tray, then they too could turn their noses up at air line food!
Allowing only a few dogs or cats on board is supposed to be a help to those with allergies. I really don’t think enough thought or research has gone into this. Most people with allergies would find even one animal enough to trigger rashes or asthma. If the person either side of you is transporting a pet you are going to have one miserable flight. I just don’t see it catching on. Apart from the allergic aspect of the new travelers what about the barking or yowling from terrified pets. What with crying children, games machines, mobile phones and the general hubbub of the passengers, flying is definitely not a relaxing pastime. I expect the new pet travel scheme to make the travelers life even worse!
