In May 2024, Bark Airlines will take flight, introducing a whole new way for dogs and their owners to travel together. Initiated by BARK, a company dedicated to dog happiness, this dog airline is the first service of its kind, putting the needs of dogs first.
Design Thought for Canine Comfort
Bark Airlines was created in response to the difficulties dog owners often encounter when traveling by air. Traditionally, options were limited and could be stressful for animals, sometimes forcing them to travel in less than ideal conditions like cargo holds or under seats. Bark Airlines is radically changing this approach with cabins specially designed for dogs, where the comfort and well-being of the animal are priority.
Exclusive Services on Board
On board Bark Airlines, dogs receive VIP treatment. Services include:
- Personalized Welcome: Each trip begins with a Bark Air concierge who prepares the dog for their experience, ensuring they are comfortable and ready for the flight.
- Comfortable facilities: The cabins are equipped to allow dogs to move around, rest and play.
- Specific entertainment: Dog movies and toys are available to keep pets entertained and relaxed during the flight.
- Gourmet meals: Particular attention is paid to nutrition with menus specially designed for dogs.
Routes and Pricing
Bark Airlines flights will initially serve the New York, Los Angeles and London areas. Departures will be scheduled from select airports such as Westchester County, Van Nuys and Stansted. Prices reflect the premium experience offered, but remain very high. Indeed, the costs are $6,000 for a trip between New York and Los Angeles, and $8,000 for flights between New York and the United Kingdom. Although this covers both the dog and its human companion, it is still very expensive.
Dog Airline: The Future of Animal Welfare?
The launch of Bark Airlines is a testament to BARK’s commitment to innovation in travel and animal welfare. By providing a safe and enjoyable alternative to traditional air travel for dogs, Bark Airlines hopes to not only improve the travel experience for animals but also raise awareness for a more humane and thoughtful approach to pet travel.
