JetBlue offering "frequent-flier miles" for pets
Posted by: Sean O'Neill, Thursday, Apr 16, 2009, 4:39 PM

It's come to this. JetBlue's JetPaws program gives fliers two TrueBlue rewards points each way if they bring a pet along. You'll receive a guide to "Travel Petiquette," too. In the words of travel blog Jaunted, "Too bad the airline doesn't send out regular etiquette guides for human passengers."

There's a catch: It costs $100 each way. Also, you have to book pet travel over the phone. Also: Not all pets qualify.

Details at JetBlue.com/jetpaws.

Great idea. I have flown many times with our various pets - cat - through the years. The cat flies in a carrier "in cabin". We don't want our pet in baggage. It will be better than having a ticket that says "live cat". Don't think I would bring along a dead cat on a trip. It would be beneficial to be able to book the pet's air on the computer while making our reservations. Some airlines will allow only a couple pets in-cabin so how will we know if there is space for him on that particular flight? You will need to have a statement in the booking process that says if there is space for the animal & whether it is in-cabin or baggage.

its so stupid that they charge 100$ to fly a pet that sits under a seat in a small carrier. what is the difference of what is inside the bag?
