Unfortunately Rover will have to wait.

While the first pet only airline is about to depart the United States, Britain still viewed as a bad behavior to the idea of taking Rover Pebbles Thumper or a plan.

Not in the United States. Pet Airways is a new company launched in May flying animals in the main lodge to LA to America's east coast.

"From check our Pet Salon, and throughout the flight, our pets will be participating care and catering to the needs of your pet. You can even control how your pet is doing. " Prices from £ 100. Only animals can fly, not the passengers (they will not even put you in the cargo area of the plane), the site is reported by the Washington Post.

(Also, unfortunately, Petairways website crashed this afternoon if we could not verify)

History in Britain is that the commercial or private flights are allowed in the United Kingdom, the exercise of pets in the main cabin (unless dogs blind). You can see the rules on the website of British Airways.

Some British-based companies exist for the transport of pets - Jet Set Pets and Pet Travel scheme run by Trans Euroair for example - but the animals go in the hold.

However, the Spanish low cost airlines Clickair will become the first European carrier to allow pets in the cabin on domestic and international flights.

In July 2009, and subject to local regulations, dogs, cats and rabbits (and possibly chickens) not weighing more than 17lb Voyage in May placed a box at the foot of their owners. The fee will be £ 19 for flights within Spain and £ 33 for international flights

Or should it be Cluckair?
