FAQs

Is Bark Air real or fake? ›

A 100% totally real airline for dogs.

And those flights cost $6,000 and $6,500 respectively — each way. What do you get with that? Other than seats for you and your pup? According to Bark Air, each journey includes a cabin full of calming aids (“pheromone, music, warm lavender scented refreshment towels, and other comforts to help each dog feel settled”).

BARK Air officially got off the ground on Wednesday afternoon, when its inaugural flight ferried six dogs of varying breeds — from Chihuahuas to a Golden Retriever — and 11 humans (both passengers and crew) from New York to Los Angeles.

How it works: For a $6,000-$8,000 ride — or $12,000-$16,000 round-trip — you get a seat for yourself and your dog (or two small dogs). On board, there's a pilot, copilot, flight attendant and concierge — with the latter two trained in dog CPR and canine de-escalation.

I give Bark Air 5 stars. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. My dog was treated extremely well - It was obvious he was the VIP - and Bark Air was very aware of dog dynamics! The flight was the most relaxing I have ever had.

While BARK Air is an airline for dogs, we recognize that you might want to bring your human with you. After all, you need scratches. So, each dog ticket comes with a pass for one human. Additional passes are available for purchase.

The planes we operate are primarily Gulfstream G5s and G4s. We will do our best to ensure each pup passenger is comfortable. The cabin will be prepped with calming aids such as: pheromone, music, warm lavender scented refreshment towels, and other comforts to help each dog feel settled.

Can I buy my dog a seat on a plane? Most airlines do not allow passengers to buy their dogs a seat on a plane. However, depending on the dog's size and breed, as well as the specific airline's rules, you may be able to pay to have your dog fly with you in the cabin.

“BARK Air” is a first-of-its-kind, revolutionary way for your dog to take a flight and not be crammed in a kennel or cargo hold. Each ticket purchased includes one human as well, but the plane layouts are “dog-centric” with an open layout so that people's pets can play and interact with each other.

It is natural and normal for your pet to relieve themselves in the crate during the flight. Make sure you line the crate with an absorbent mat or puppy pads to soak up the urine. All Petraveller crates are lined with super absorbent and washable Petraveller Sky Beds to ensure your pet's flight is comfortable.

How much is a dog plane ticket? ›

Generally, airlines charge a pet fee of $100 to $200 each way, but prices will vary depending on where you're traveling and your airline. Check the airline's pet policy before purchasing a ticket to make sure your pet meets the airline's breed and size requirements.

Pets are placed in “hold 5”, at the rear of the plane. It is part of the cargo area underneath the cabin, but it is separated and it is heated. It is kept at the same temperature and pressure as the cabin, since the captain is notified of animals on board, and will make sure of this.

To start, Bark Air will have flights from New York City to Los Angeles and London with one-way flights costing roughly $6,000 to $8,000, but pricing will vary based on routes and time of year. Humans don't pay anything for their ticket.
