”With more than 80,000 pets traveling on JetBlue each year, the JetPaws program is designed to make with pets smooth from start to finish,” said Kim Ruvolo, JetBlue’s brand manager. “We know that our customers are passionate about their pets and very emotionally connected to them so this program ensures that our customer service extends to our four-legged customers too.”
For $100 each way, regardless of the travel route, the low-cost carrier welcomes up to four pets in the cabin per flight.”Although the article appears to be in error regarding other carriers...pets are NOT placed in the unheated, unpressurized baggage compartment, they are usually placed in the rear of the plane behind the passenger compartment...an area that IS heated/cooled and pressurized. If they were placed in the baggage area they would be making the return trip in one of those animal caskets.
