Imagine embarking on a dream vacation with your beloved pet by your side. Virgin Airlines is making this a reality, becoming the first Australian airline to allow pets in the cabin during flights.
The innovative move was announced in a press release, “Cats out the Bag,” showcasing Virgin’s excitement. A 2021 survey revealed 85% of people support in-cabin pets, with 57% willing to fly more frequently if they could bring their pets.
Jayne Hrdlicka, Virgin’s CEO, shared her enthusiasm, “Our love for animals is in Virgin Australia’s DNA. We’re thrilled to introduce pets in cabin flights, a proven success overseas.”
To ensure a comfortable experience for all, strict rules will be implemented. Small dogs and cats in approved carriers under the seat will be permitted. Assistance animals will still travel free.
Passengers with allergies will be accommodated, with Virgin designing a safe proposition addressing concerns. A reasonable fee for the service will be announced soon.
This groundbreaking move opens doors for pet owners. With Virgin Airlines, the days of leaving furry friends behind are ending. Get ready for unforgettable adventures with your four-legged companion.
