Why Private Jet Travel Is the Best Option for Pet Owners

As they make plans for domestic or international travel, plans that include their furry friends, many pet owners seek to keep the ordeal, noise, and discomfort from impacting their beloved pet companions. Commercial airlines are known to be busy and potentially overwhelming, with thousands of passengers passing through airports and pets taking their place in a separate cargo hold during the flight. But with private aviation, pets can experience a soothing journey.

At Chartright Air Group, we understand that comfortable and stress-free experiences give you and your pets peace of mind as you take to the skies. In this article, we will share some of the pet-friendly elements and benefits you and your companions can look forward to in private aviation.

Why Flying Commercial with Pets is Challenging

Many pet owners face a few challenges when flying commercial with their beloved companions. Not only do commercial flight arrangements involve navigating busy airports, which can take an emotional toll on pets and owners, they potentially face size and breed restrictions on the airline.

When travelling with pets on commercial airlines, additional stresses can apply. Pets need to travel in cargo hold spaces where the temperature, pressure, separation, and discomfort can cause pet companions to experience anxiety.

Private Jet Travel: Removing Stress for Pets and Owners

A significant contrast is noted when pet owners travelling with their companions choose private jet charters for their journey. Some of the flight services and benefits that both pets and pet owners notice include the following:

No Separation – Pets can remain in the cabin of the aircraft throughout the journey. This minimizes their stress, as owners can alleviate their companions’ fears during the flight.

Shorter Travel – Since our jets can reach the destination faster, pets will not need to be in the air for such a long duration. Shorter air travel means beloved pets on a charter flight are exposed to environmental stressors for less time.

Fewer Airport Procedures – Direct boarding is possible as part of private jet charter services, meaning that pets do not need to go through as many boarding processes as commercial airlines. With fewer boarding procedures, pets experience less stress.

Fewer Restrictions – On private jet charter flights, pet owners do not need to adhere to restrictions such as ensuring their companions wear a muzzle, a leash, or are placed in a crate. Within reason, pets can experience a more comfortable flight with fewer restrictions.

Comfortable Cabins for Both Pets and their Owners

Additionally, pets and their owners can look forward to comfortable cabins that align with the needs of both travellers. The cabins offer the following advantages:

Quiet Environment – Unlike busy commercial airlines, private jet charter flights offer a quiet environment far away from the bustle of crowds and loud noises. This comfortable, quiet environment helps pets stay calm.

Climate-Controlled Cabins – Pets can experience the right temperature on board the private flight thanks to the climate-controlled cabins they offer. No matter whether they are travelling during warm or cold months, pet owners and their pets can travel comfortably.

Custom Accommodations – Alongside the quiet environment, animals can receive custom accommodations to enhance their comfortable journey. Accommodations include pet beds, water dishes, treats, and various other items to keep pets content throughout the journey.

Schedules that are Flexible and Convenient

With the flexible and convenient schedules that flying private offers, animals and their owners experience a more relaxing journey. These flights are flexible in the following ways:

Fly According to a Specific Pet-Friendly Schedule – Pet owners can arrange to fly when it suits them and their furry companion on a private aircraft. They can align the journey with the pet’s routine, ensuring less deviation from a well-established schedule.

Pet-Friendly Destinations – Travellers who own pets will be able to select pet-friendly destinations that align with their needs. They can also access these locations more directly on a private jet charter flight than on a commercial airline.

Faster Boarding Processes – Charter flights significantly minimize anxiety for pets thanks to faster boarding and deplaning processes.

Safety First: Trained Crews & Protocols for Pet Travel

Alongside flexible and convenient flight schedules, pet owners and their animals will also travel with unparalleled safety protocols and trained crews. The following safety benefits apply to a pet-friendly private jet charter:

Crews with Pet Handling Experience – Crews on board private flights have pet-handling travel experience and fully understand how to minimize stress in the air.

Adjustable Oxygen and Pressure Levels – It is possible to adjust the oxygen and pressure levels so that optimal flight conditions align with the pet’s requirements.

Medical Requirements Available – With meticulous pre-flight planning during private jet travel with pets, it is possible to schedule medical or behavioural needs to keep the pet calm and healthy throughout the journey.
