Pet Airways will take off from BWI

A couple weeks ago we wrote about Pet Airways, a new company that will specialize in flying pets around the country. It turns out, one of the airports that Pet Airways will be using is BWI/Marshall.

The service, set to begin in July, will cost $149 each way. Pets will fly in containers in the main cabin along with an attendant. Their owners, however, aren't allowed on board.

So far, Pet Airways will be flying in and out of five airports, but expects to add more.

If they flew from BWI to Tampa or Orlando I would use them in a heart beat. The fifteen hour drive from Baltimore to Tampa is not pleasant when you have to cats meowing the whole way.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
