In a groundbreaking move for pet travel, BARK, a leading company dedicated to all things canine, has introduced “BARK Air.” This unique air travel service specially caters to dogs, prioritizing their comfort and needs throughout the flying experience, while also accommodating their human companions. BARK’s ambitious project marks the debut of the world’s premier air travel designed explicitly with dogs’ best interests in mind.
BARK Air allows dogs to enjoy flying first class
Launching initially with select routes, BARK Air connects the New York City metro area with the Los Angeles area and London, offering flights from Westchester County Airport to Van Nuys and Stansted Airport, respectively. By collaborating with an Argus Platinum-rated charter company, BARK ensures top-tier safety and comfort for both dogs and their owners.
BARK Air’s reservation system is seamless and user-friendly; a dedicated concierge reaches out to travelers post-booking to personalize the journey for each canine and their owner. This bespoke approach addresses all needs and preferences, creating a tailored, stress-free travel experience.
Upon arriving at the airport, pets and pet parents can immerse themselves in a world of luxury. Dogs can socialize in a pre-flight lounge area while their human counterparts enjoy gourmet meals. The journey would then continue with the assistance of a BARK Air concierge, guiding dogs through a carefully prepared boarding process designed to ease any pre-flight jitters. This includes access to calming treats and other amenities aimed at providing a serene travel environment.
The in-flight experience for pets is meticulously crafted, featuring BARK-branded treats, calming aids, and thoughtful amenities like noise-canceling ear muffs to ensure a smooth journey. Furthermore, dogs can enjoy special beverages to prevent discomfort caused by cabin pressure changes, showcasing BARK’s commitment to a dog-first travel experience.
Matt Meeker, co-founder and CEO of BARK, expressed enthusiasm about using their expertise in dog happiness to craft a groundbreaking travel solution, as per PEOPLE. “We believe this initiative will elevate awareness of our brand’s mission and values, introduce more dog lovers to the BARK family,” he said. Meeker continued, adding that this mode of travel will “help enrich the lives of dogs and their people around the world.”
