How to Make Airline Pet Travel Safer
This is the right pet plan and gear that can help you dodge the drama of the next airline blunder. From mishandling of pet carriers, misdirecting dogs to the wrong airport, to leaving animals for extended periods in extreme temperatures such as a hot tarmac, taking a few extra steps could make a difference on your journey.
Some airlines worth noting are innovating and proactively addressing pet safety with thoughtful approaches to traveling with your pet. Delta Air Lines was one of the first airlines to implement real-time GPS trackers from Sendum on pets and live animals placed in cargo. The Sendum PT300 tracker goes on the kennel and provides immediate location, temperature, light, air pressure, humidity, motions sensors that detect shock, drop, vibration and orientation of kennel.
Delta monitors the data of your pet while in transit and you can use a web interface to monitor along the way to 89 U.S. destinations. The Sendum PT300 tracker goes on the kennel and provides immediate location, temperature, light, air pressure, humidity, motions sensors that detect shock, drop, vibration and orientation of kennel. You can see if your airline is listed as a Sendum GPS device customer.
American Airlines recent addition of a new transcon aircraft on routes between LAX-JFK and SFO-JFK created a vented pet holding cabinet for passengers seated in rows with no seat stowage. The dog or cat goes into the vented space for takeoff, taxi and landing these special A321T aircraft. Smart.
