Nice PR stunt.

In their videos they show a 747 when the reality will be the less spacious Gulfstream G5. But perhaps that’s to show the ambition.

The cost is $8k for London-NY one way (human + dog). At that price your dog should get some service.

But I wonder how they can keep that up. Depending on the source, chartering such a plane for this route costs $80-100k for 19 seats. They can only sell 9 tickets which doesn’t leave them much of a margin.


Interesting research experiment. Apparently it's a little nicer than flying economy on Spirit.
