Pet Airline for the Pampered Pooch!

The Florida owners of a pets-only airline that is expected to begin operations July 14 say flights are already filling up with reservations.

Dan Wiesel and Alysa Binder said the Pet Airways server briefly crashed earlier this week due to the amount of interest in the company, which is offering animal-only flights to and from select cities New York, NJ, CT, Philadelphia, Washington DC/Baltimore Area,Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles at a price of $149 each way, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.

"If you own a pet, you get it," Binder told the newspaper. "They're in the main cabin, not cargo. There is always an attendant with them. ... There's fresh circulated air, like any passenger would have. It's well-lit. It's a whole different service than cargo."

Binder said the company even provides the carriers for the pets. Each of the remodeled planes used by Pet Airways can hold 50 carriers.

"And we're flying at night, when skies are calmer and the animals are calmer," she said. "Everything we're doing, we're doing around the pets."
