Dogs on a plane: BARK Air caters to dogs with luxuries
Thursday, May 23, 2024, 10:42 GMT+7
BARK Air caters to dogs with a sunlit waiting lounge filled with treats and toys, speedy check-ins, and an on-board spa for pups.
The luxury aircraft can accommodate up to 14 people, but BARK Air doesn't want to sell more than 10 tickets to make room for ten dogs.

Currently, BARK Air routes include flights between the New York City metro area's White Plains Airport, Van Nuys Airport near Los Angeles, and London's Biggin Hill Airport.
The company is now considering adding flights to Paris, Milan, Chicago, Seattle, and seasonal destinations in Florida and Arizona.
The new airline will transport dogs of all sizes and their people "in comfort and in style," according to its CEO Matt Meeker.
The price is $8,000 for a one-way international flight and $6,000 for a domestic trip for one dog and one human companion.
