“Unforeseen hazards can arise once a plane is loaded and prepped for takeoff. On airplanes that have been delayed after leaving the terminal and parked on the blazing tarmac, temperatures can escalate dangerously. Pets have also died due to low temperatures. In 2010, two dogs and a cat perished due to extreme cold in transit, according to the Huffington Post. One of these animals was a hairless kitten named Snickers. The cat’s owner had paid a $70 fee to ensure her pet’s swift removal from the plane. However, it reportedly took baggage handlers 50 minutes to remove the kitten’s kennel from the cargo hold. Snickers died shortly thereafter.” (Bland, 2013)

Furthermore, the conditions they may endure can result in a traumatizing experience and the last thing we would want for your loved little friend is to hurt them.

Pets on a Private Flight
Founded by pet-owners, at LIVT we try our best to make sure your baby experiences the same luxury you do. By flying private, we allow our owners to take their furry friends on board and let them roam free in the cabin.

With each country having varying rules and regulations as to the importation of pets, our designated lifestyle coordinators work closely with our members to discuss the options they have before scheduling a flight. But don’t panic, many airports and private jet operators now have the approval to handle private charter flights with pets onboard.
