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?
While searching for commercial flights or jet charters, you might have had a legitimate question about traveling with large or unusual pets such as reptiles or birds. However, logistics and safety concerns make it difficult to take them on charter flights, so it is generally not advised to bring them along.
When taking a private flight on our Pet-Friendly Private Jets, you can bring along your cats, dogs, and other vaccinated healthy domestic pets, and they can stay with you in the cabin. Your pets can be of any breed or age, and we have a special place on board for them, not in the 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 choose 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
Proper documentation showing your pets are vaccinated and aligned with the requirements of the destination state or country is crucial. While 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 is fit for travelso you can have a comfortable journey.
Meals & Washroom Facilities
If you charter a private jet, you have the option to bring your pet’s preferred food or leave it to us to arrange. You can trust that our flight attendants will attend to your pet’s needs throughout the flight. For longer trips, we suggest bringing pee-pads to help your pets in case of any inconvenience.
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.
