A new airline that will transport pets exclusively is set to launch in July. For $149 each way, Pet Airways says they will fly your dog or cat "in the main cabin, NOT in cargo!" Not a bad deal compared to the pet transport fees charged by many conventional airlines. Looks like they will operate a 1x weekly cross-country flight from New York (TEB) making stops at Washington/Baltimore (BWI), Chicago (PWK, Chicago Executive), Denver (BJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport) and Los Angeles (HHR, Hawthorne Municipal Airport).
They'll be using a Beech 1900C in a freight configuration operated by Suburban Air Freight out of Omaha, Nebraska. So yes, your pet will be in the "main cabin," but it's the main cabin of a cargo aircraft.
Here's an interview with the founder on Fox News:
Can it work?
