A Siberian cat named Reinhardt recently flew Turkish Airlines business class on a Boeing 787-9, prancing down the aisle and then calmly settling into his human’s lap like Don Vito Corleone stroking a cat in The Godfather. Cute? Absolutely. But as with all pets in premium cabins, there is a bigger question here.
Reinhardt is a Siberian cat and, according to his own website, a seasoned “travel cat” whose adventures are meant to help others learn more about pet-friendly travel. His website says the cats behind the account have collectively traveled to 15 countries, with guides on everything from leash training to flying with a cat. That is not exactly my lane, but I will admit that Reinhardt appears far more composed in premium cabins than many human passengers.
A recent video shows Reinhardt onboard Turkish Airlines business class on a Boeing 787-9. He is not cowering in a carrier or frantically trying to escape. Instead, he calmly walks down the aisle, inspects the cabin, and eventually settles into his human’s lap.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
