Pet-Friendly Private Jets
Posted on August 4th, 2022
Curated Travel Experience For You. And, Your Pets.
Pets are considered a part of the family, and devoted pet owners who travel with their pets have a discerning eye when finding the best pet-friendly charter aircraft. At JetOptions Private Jets, pets are treated to the same outstanding service as human guests. No matter your destination or your reason for traveling, you can rest assured that your furry friends will enjoy a relaxing, comfortable trip in our pet-friendly aircraft.
What Pets are Allowed on the Aircraft?
A legit question must have crossed your mind while searching the web for commercial flights or jet charters. Regarding pets traveling that are large in size or unusual, like reptiles or birds, logistics & their safety pose concerns, and taking them on charter flights is not generally advised.
However, while taking a private flight on our Pet-Friendly Private Jets, you are welcome to bring along cats, dogs, and other vaccinated healthy domestic pets, who can stay in the cabin. Your pets can be of any breed or age, and a special place will be on board for them, not a cargo hold!
Your Flight Travel Checklist With Pets
Private jet travel is always delightful to have your pet beside you, not caged. It is a more relaxing experience for them, unlike the alternatives where your pets could face separation anxiety or general distress during flight travel. When you charter a pet friendly jet, you can choose the type of aircraft you want and the in-flight catering menu. These aircraft are spacious and designed for people and their pets, so your pet won’t get cramped. Plus, you’ll avoid the hassles of commercial flights with crowded airports and long lines at the TSA. And because they’re private aircraft, your pet can board the plane with you anytime.
Here are some things you’ll need to prep before bringing your pet on board.
Vaccination Certificates & Documents
It is crucial to have proper documentation showing your pets are vaccinated and aligned with the requirements of the destination state or country. While the conditions within the US could be lenient, it’s always best to have your pet’s papers in order while traveling abroad.
According to the US Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture, you are required to abide by the following while flying with pets within the US:
- Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies
- Your pet must be at least 8 weeks old and weaned
- Only healthy pets are allowed to travel; any pet that is in distress, violent, or sick must not be flown.
Drop by your vet’s place and ensure they certify your pet as fit for travel to have a comfortable journey.
Meals & Washroom Facilities
Charter a private jet, and you can bring the food of your pet’s choice, or we can take care of that, rest assured. The flight attendants will most definitely cater to your pet’s needs at every juncture. Further, we recommend bringing pee-pads to help your pets as needed for troubles during a longer trip.
Take-off & Landing Precautions
Just like some of us face difficulties during take-off & landing, pets are no exception. While such travelers are accustomed to swallowing to prevent the ears from popping due to changing altitude, animals could find this distressing or, worse, may cause ear injury. Therefore, feeding them treats and water during this time is advised to equalize the ear pressure.
Extra Care For Pet Comfort
Flight Travel could be daunting for a pet who is new to the experience. Do remember to carry their favorite toy & treats to ease the process. Instead of a collar, a soft harness could be more soothing.
