Airline to offer first class flights for your pets

[Syringer]

Enter Pet Airways, a new startup launching next month that flies pets and only pets: ?With Pet Airways your pet will be safe and comfortable, flying in the main cabin, not in cargo. From check-in at our Pet Lounge, and throughout the flight, our Pet Attendants will be caring and catering to all your pet?s needs. You can even monitor how your pet is doing.? Fees start at $150. Sadly, only your pet can fly, not you (they won?t even put you in the cargo area of the plane).

What the deuce?

This sounds like a brilliant way to smuggle drugs.

Are spiders eligible for first class seating?

I guess it's aimed squarely at the divorced rich people that share custody of a pet but live in different cities...

I am guessing it's going to fold real fast.

Thats the most idiotic theory I've ever heard of. Obviously the idea is to book your pet on a flight that closely matches your own, so you meet them at the airport on the other end.

The major pitfall of this system is, what if the human flight gets delayed. Then your pets ends up by themselves in another airport.
