Virgin Australia will soon allow small cats and dogs to fly in the cabin, becoming the first airline in Australia to let pets travel alongside their owners onboard.
This marks a major shift in Australian aviation. While service animals have always been allowed in cabin, non-service cats and dogs have been limited to the cargo hold…until now.
Not everyone is thrilled. Some travelers have raised concerns about allergies, barking, and hygiene issues. Virgin says it will clean aircraft more frequently and limit the number of pets onboard per flight to reduce potential disruptions.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
