Dogs flying in style

Dogs flying in style


With millions of pets on flights each year, airlines are struggling to safely and comfortably accommodate them. That’s where Bark Air comes in — at least for dogs.

Launched in May 2024, Bark Air touts canine-centric flights without a dog crate in sight. Charter flights transport the dogs — with or without their parents. Upon booking, a Bark Air concierge collects the dog’s information and later facilitates check-in. During the flight, pooch pampering includes calming blankets and pillows, spa sessions, snacks and drinks and more.

So far, Bark Air only flies between New York and Los Angeles — at a cost of $6,000 — and between New York and London — at a fee of $8,500. To date, that hasn’t deterred hundreds of pet parents from using their services.
