Changes are afoot for pet owners and those who’d rather not share the skies with dogs and cats. So how will the proposed new scheme work?
Virgin Australia’s plan to be the first airline in the nation to allow pets on planes has prompted fierce debate among travellers. While some pet owners look forward to travelling with their cat or dog in the aircraft cabin, for many flyers, the news has been met with apprehension. People who suffer from allergies, phobias or have certain religious beliefs are just some dreading the introduction of furry passengers.
It’s not clear what “small” means in kilograms, nor if certain dog breeds will be banned, as they are in the US. And a yet-to-be-revealed fee will apply. Chris Chamberlin at Point Hacks, an online community that provides advice on all aspects of air travel, says it’s worth remembering that airlines operate internal “no-fly” lists, which means troublesome passengers can be banned.
Be prepared for potential disturbances, says Velardo, as pets don’t always behave as we’d hope. “I highly recommend investing in excellent noise-cancelling headphones,” she says.
