Private Jet Pet Travel – The Most Comfortable Way for Pets to Fly (with you too!)

Delivered by K9 JETS

Looking for the safest and most stress-free way for your dog or cat to fly internationally?

‘It’s not as expensive as you think – to travel with you and up to two pets is the same as your business class ticket to your destination!’

PetAir’s Superior Package delivered by K9 Jets offers the ultimate relocation experience – where your pet travels right by your side, in-cabin, aboard a luxury private jet. No crates, no cargo, no compromises.

Whether you’re flying with a large dog, a nervous cat, or a brachycephalic (flat-faced) breed like a French Bulldog or Persian, this first-class pet travel service provides unmatched comfort, calm, and care from take-off to landing.

Fly Together. Relax Together.

This exclusive private jet pet travel service is designed for pets who deserve more than the standard travel experience – and for pet parents who want to be there every step of the way.

Private jet travel benefits include:

You and your pet fly together – no separation, ever
In-cabin seating on a private jet – two dedicated seats include
Available for all dog and cat breeds – including large dogs and snub-nosed pet
No pet cabins (crates), size restrictions or quarantine required
Skip queues and fast-track customs and security
Complimentary bar with refreshments, meal for you and a calm environment
Dedicated private check-in area for seamless boarding
Vet-Led Travel Prep included with every flight, vet-led 24/7 online wellness support, plus cabin training and nutrition advice right up to the point you fly

Where Can You Fly With the Superior Package?

We currently offer private jet pet travel to the following popular international destinations:

Dubai
Canada (Toronto)
United States (Los Angeles, Miami, New York)
Europe

These routes are among the most in-demand for pet owners seeking in-cabin travel with their dog or cat. More destinations are being added based on demand – so if you’re relocating somewhere else, just ask!

Is It Safe for Snub-Nosed (Brachycephalic) Dogs and Cats?

Yes – and in fact, it’s one of the best options available for brachycephalic breeds. Flat-faced dogs and cats, such as Pugs, Boxers, and Persian cats, can be more sensitive to air pressure, heat and stress.

PetAir’s Superior Package ensures they:

Fly in a calm, pressurised cabin
Stay close to their owner for comfort and reassurance
Avoid noisy, high-stress cargo holds entirely

While this private jet pet travel is ideal for flat-faced pets, it’s equally suitable for any pet who thrives best in a quieter, more personalised setting – whether they’re elderly, anxious, or simply your VIP.

Who Is the Superior Package Best For?

This is the ultimate relocation option for:

Pet parents flying with large dogs or emotional support animals
Owners of brachycephalic breeds seeking a safer solution
Travellers who want to accompany their pet the entire journey
Anyone seeking a luxury, white-glove relocation experience
Pet owners relocating to Dubai, Canada, or the USA
Pets with specific care needs that benefit from close supervision

How Much Does Private Jet Pet Travel Cost?

Private Jet Pet Travel is more affordable than many expect, often comparable to the combined cost of a commercial seat and separate pet cargo booking. Availability depends on your destination – and we’re expanding our routes based on demand.

Fly With Comfort. Fly With Care.

At PetAir, we’ve spent over 20 years helping pets relocate safely across the globe. With veterinary-led planning and an unmatched attention to detail, the Superior Package Delivered by K9 JETS is our most premium service yet – built for pets who deserve the best, and owners who wouldn’t settle for anything less.

Which Airlines Carry Pets Out of the UK? (2025 Guide)

UK Pet Travel: Legal & Regulatory Framework

Before listing airlines, it helps to understand the rules and constraints that apply to pet transport out of the the UK.

DEFRA, APHA & Approved Routes

All pets (dogs, cats, ferrets) leaving the UK (or entering other countries) must comply with the Pet Travel Scheme or equivalent documentation requirements.
For entry into the UK, pets must arrive via government-approved routes and airlines.
UK law prohibits pets travelling as cabin baggage or hold/checked baggage on flights entering the UK (they must travel as cargo/manifest). However, for departures from the UK, cabin or hold carriage is not precluded by UK law – but whether an airline will accept that is a matter of their policy.
Airlines must be approved to transport live animals via UK government’s approved routes. GOV.UK

Airline Compliance & IATA Guidelines

Airlines must adhere to IATA Live Animal Regulations (LAR). For example, containers must meet certain standards, animals over 14 kg must be crated individually, etc. IATA
Some airlines or routes may impose seasonal or temperature embargoes (i.e., pets not allowed during extreme weather).
Some breeds (especially brachycephalic / “flat-faced” breeds) may be restricted or require special handling.
Reservations for pets typically must be made well in advance (some require 14 days’ notice, or even 6 weeks for certain destinations).

Owner Travel & Commercial vs Non-Commercial Rules

If pet travel is deemed “commercial” (for example, pet shipped separately from owner, or non-owner travel), stricter documentation may apply (e.g. shorter validity of health certificates).
Often pet owners are required to travel within 5 days of their pet’s arrival in the destination country to maintain non-commercial status.
Always check the destination country’s import rules (rabies vaccination, microchipping, import permits, waiting periods, quarantine, etc.)

Which Airlines Accept Pets from UK Airports?

Below is an updated list and overview of airlines (commercial or charter) known to allow pet transport departing from the UK (2025). Always verify with the airline directly prior to booking – policies do change.

Commercial Airlines (with pet transport on scheduled flights)

The UK government publishes a list of commercial airlines approved for pet transport from UK airports. Some of the notable ones include:

Airline	Notes / restrictions for pets leaving the UK*
KLM / Air France	Pets (cats/dogs) allowed in cabin and hold on many routes. For cabin travel: combined pet + carrier ≤ 8 kg; carry bag max size 46×28×24 cm. Note: there has been a UK embargo on incoming pet travel for PETC / AVIH on some KLM flights, but departures from UK are generally permitted. KLM
Lufthansa	Allows pets under its animal-transport rules. Lufthansa
Air Canada	Operates pet cargo services from Heathrow & Manchester. GOV.UK
Air Transat	Pets accepted on flights out of UK (e.g. Manchester, Glasgow) in cabin or hold depending on destination. Travelnuity
Aer Lingus	Accepts pets (via “Pets on Jets” service) from certain UK airports (including Manchester) GOV.UK
TAP Air Portugal	Previously accepted pets in cabin (≤ 8 kg including carrier) from certain UK airports; though current policy should be confirmed. Travelnuity
Iberia / ITA Airways	There are reports of Iberia and ITA accepting small pets in the cabin on flights departing from the UK (e.g. ≤ 8 kg incl. carrier). Travelnuity
Other airlines on the UK gov list	Including Air Baltic, Air Europa, Aegean, Aeromexico, etc. GOV.UK

* “Leaving the UK” is easier (in terms of UK law) than “entering the UK,” but destination / transit rules heavily influence whether the airline permits your pet.

UK Domestic / Regional Airlines

Loganair: As of 2025, Loganair is one of the few UK airlines allowing pets as checked baggage on many domestic routes. Travelnuity
For most UK airlines (e.g. British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2), permitting pets on domestic flights is not standard.

Chartered / Specialist Pet / Cargo Operators

For flights or routes not served by commercial airlines, charter or cargo services are often used. The UK government lists charter operators approved for pet movements. GOV.UK Some examples:

247 Aviation / Pets on Jets – operates pet charter services from various UK airports. GOV.UK
Biggin Hill / Farnborough operators – smaller jets that accept pets in carriage. GOV.UK
West Atlantic UK – primarily a cargo operator based in East Midlands. Wikipedia

Charter / cargo operators are useful for routes not served by mainstream airlines or when timing, handling, or comfort are priorities.

Cabin vs Hold vs Cargo: What’s Possible?

In-Cabin (PETS / Cabin Baggage)

Very few airlines allow pets to fly in the passenger cabin from UK airports, especially on long-haul or transatlantic routes.
When allowed, strict weight and size limits typically apply (e.g. ≤ 8 kg including carrier, and the carrier must fit under seat).
Many airlines explicitly do not allow pets in the cabin on flights either entering or leaving the UK, or only allow assistance dogs in the cabin.
- Example: British Airways does not accept pets as checked baggage and only allows certified assistance dogs in cabin.
- Emotional support animals are generally not accepted.

Hold / Checked Baggage

Some airlines permit pets in the hold (i.e. shipped with the aircraft’s cargo hold) under the “checked baggage” or “excess baggage” scheme – though this often depends on route, aircraft type, and destination.

But in the UK → UK flights or flights entering the UK, pets are typically not permitted as hold/checked baggage; they must travel as cargo/manifest.

Cargo / Manifest Animal

This is the most common scenario for pets on international journeys from the UK. The pet is shipped as manifest cargo (with its own airway bill, handling, veterinary checks, etc.).

Cargo transport is more flexible, supports larger size animals, and is often the only option when cabin or hold options are unavailable.
PetAir UK specialises in this – handling the entire cargo pathway with clinical oversight, paperwork, door-to-door transport, route planning, etc.

Airline Policies: Tips & “Gotchas”

Book early: Many airlines have limited slots for animals per flight (sometimes just 1–2).
Check aircraft types / transit rules: Some aircraft or hubs may not permit animals in the hold or cabin (e.g. KLM’s Boeing 787-9/10 or long transits)
Route embargoes: Seasonal restrictions or extreme temperature embargoes may impact some routes.
Transit / transfer times: Some airlines limit or disallow pets if your transfer exceeds a certain duration.
Cost variability: Fees vary widely – pet fees per flight could range from tens to hundreds of pounds, depending on weight, distance, and airline.
Documentation: Health certificate (often within 10 days of departure), vaccination proof, microchip, import permits, customs clearance.
Breed restrictions: Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds often face additional scrutiny or bans on some routes.
Animal welfare: Always ensure kennel sizing, adequate ventilation, water, feeding rules, acclimatisation, etc.
Foreign country rules: Even if the UK side allows the pet, your destination may impose stricter rules or even deny entry.

How PetAir UK Facilitates the Process

Here’s how PetAir UK works to ensure the smoothest pet relocation from the UK:

Route planning & airline selection
We only work with airlines and charter operators that are vetted, approved, and suitable for the pet’s needs (temperature control, minimal transit, etc.).
Full documentation & compliance
We manage all the vet checks, health certificates, import/export permits, customs clearance, and route approvals to prevent surprises.
Door-to-airport / airport-to-destination logistics
From your doorstep to pre-flight kennels to the aircraft and onward – we coordinate every ground transfer with DEFRA-approved transport.
Clinically supervised journeys
As a vet-led organisation, we monitor each pet’s welfare in transit (e.g. hydration, temperature, stress).
Tailored handling for special cases
Large breeds, multiple pets, exotic animals, or pets requiring sedation or special care – we have protocols and experience.
Transparent pricing, no hidden costs
Our quotes include all standard costs; we strive to avoid surprise surcharges. PetAirUK

Because of these services, many airlines (such as British Airways) partner with PetAir UK for their approved pet export services.

Sample Scenarios & What You Should Do

Scenario	Likely transport mode	What to check / ask	Role for PetAir UK
You’re flying from London to Amsterdam with a small cat	Possibly cabin (if airline allows) or hold	Ask airline about in-cabin pet policy, weight & carrier limits	PetAir don’t facilitate this option for any of our cat or dog travellers
Moving from UK to Canada, large dog	Almost certainly cargo / manifest	Airline cargo policy, transfer hubs, customs	We handle full cargo shipment, vet checks, import clearance
Flying UK → Spain with small dog	Possibly cabin	Check Iberia, TAP, etc. for cabin pet policy	We can compare options and select best route
Domestic UK flight (e.g. Scotland → England)	Checked baggage or hold (rare)	Check Loganair’s allowances	PetAir can advise on whether direct route or charter is better

Frequently Asked Questions (UK Pet Owners)

Q: Can I fly my pet in the cabin on a UK → US flight?
A: Very unlikely. Most transatlantic routes don’t permit cabin pets on flights departing from the UK; the pet must travel as manifest cargo. Travelnuity

Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: As early as possible – many airlines require pet reservations 14 days ahead (or up to 6 weeks for U.S. routes). PetAirUK

Q: What about emotional support animals or assistance dogs?
A: Assistance dogs (trained by recognized organisations) may be permitted in cabin on some airlines, but this is strictly controlled. British Airways

Emotional support animals are generally not accepted in the cabin. British Airways

Q: Are there weight or size limits?
A: Yes. For cabin travel, the combined weight (pet + carrier) is often limited to ~8 kg, and the carrier must fit under the airline’s seat size constraints.

Q: Do I need to worry about breed restrictions?
A: Yes. Some airlines restrict or prohibit transporting brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds due to health risks under pressure/heat stress.
