2009's Best Travel Newcomer Is...

December 31, 2009 at 8:34 AM | by | Comments (0)

2009 wasn't a huge year at all for travel launches, but luckily one of the new ventures that did get off the ground (literally) this year was Pet AIrways, like private jet service just for your pooch. When they launched in mid-summer with cross-country and Florida routes, the flight were fully booked by families and pet owners who didn't want to put their pet in a cargo hold or kennel while they went on vacation.

We've actually considered using the service ourselves—well, for our four-legged friend—since their average airfare of $149 beats upscale kennel rates when you're spending more than a few days out of town. Expect Pet Airways to expand in 2010, and the fluff stories on it by news channels to continue.
