Recently, a Japanese airline, ‘wan wan jet’ launched a special domestic flight service that allows passengers to fly with their dogs in the main cabin.
Wan wan jet’s basic package includes travel, stay and sightseeing which means the owners and their dogs get to stay together in a hotel and go sightseeing in rented cars.
A 41-year-old, Toshihiko Kai who was traveling with a four-year-old miniature dachshund, shared his experience.
‘It was painful for me to check in (my dog) as luggage at airport counters as it always barks,’ he said.
An airline official says that air travel with pets will lead to the opening of new markets for domestic flights in Japan.
Dog-friendly service
When the company announced its dog-friendly service in December, it was fully booked within an hour with about 60 people and 30 dogs.
It’s not the first time owners have had the chance to fly with their pooches in Japan. Last May, All Nippon Airways trialed a charter tour that took 87 passengers to Hokkaido Prefecture with 44 pets.
The basic package cost of ANA is about ¥220,000 (£2,500) for two adults and a dog – and the demand was so great that the flight sold out in just two days.
During the flight, the dogs were kept in cages attached to window seats, and a veterinarian accompanied the tour.
