They're just a chartering private jets, flying HPN-VNY at $6000 PP

I can't personally relate, but I can see the business case for a way to fly with pets.

I have a coworker who kvetches about how she can't travel much because she's very committed to her dog, can't bear the thought of putting the dog in the luggage hold, and doesn't have anyone to watch the dog while she's gone.

At $6k this is obviously not the solution for the masses, but I could see a market for this at some price.

Definitely think there's a use case, but chartering private jets to fly a dog is downright ridiculous, they're doing it to virtue signal. Not like you couldn't charter a PJ for your dog before this.

Wonder if this would make Dan's news roundup (if that happens again in the future)?
