I had to post this when I found it (and after I stopped laughing). CompanionAir.com is the first class pet and pet family airline. Apparently they have not yet had their inaugural flight, but looks to be good to go for early next year. As you can imagine, the prices aren’t cheap. But if you read the stats about Continental Airlines, you may look more favorable upon this airline with your pets.

Now here’s the thing…I know people love their pets and many consider pets as a member of the family. But are there enough wealthy pet owners out there to justify an airline? I mean commercial major air carriers are struggling right now…Southwest I heard even reported a loss for the first time in a long time. And they transport everyone everywhere. So now the argument turns to “Oh, well…Companion Air is just a specialty airline.” Of course they are, but what’s the difference between this airline and renting out a small twin engine from your local pasture pilot? (all in all…I just wouldn’t get along with the passengers on these planes…I feel we would clash)
