It’s so interesting reading all the comments to this post. Humans are so interestingly unique. Animals best friends, family members and deserve to be traded a accordantly. I agreed that the final details will need to be managed and worked through. The captain crew will do their best to make sure everyone’s comfortable. Thank you VIRGIN for pushing and evolving the industry all the while keeping things safe.

Definitely.
It will be less stressful for the owner and their pet if they can travel domestic together onboard.
Happy for Virgin to update regarding onboard pet travelling by email when it will start.
Thank you.

I am so pleased that Virgin has progressed to allowing pets in the cabin. After living in USA for 4 years it was hard to come back to OZ and be restricted about pets and travel.

At last, we’ll certainly make use of this! Haven’t flown for seven years as we wouldn’t leave our dog in a kennel, and she wouldn’t handle going in the hold of an aircraft as well as being separated from us. Drove the Nullarbor last year, but …. No more!

This makes me so happy and excited to potentially be able take my beautiful toy poodle girl on a flight with us. I would absolutely definitely use the pets onboard service with Virgin Australia.

I will definitely be accessing this service for my very small dog depending on the flight routes.

We have travelled extensively in our lives and have only come across pets being allowed on board aircraft cabins once flying from Vienna to Stockholm. The pets were not allowed to stay with their owners in their seats but cabin staff placed them in cages in the front of the plane. They also only allow pets on short haul flights. Aircraft cabins are so small and cramped that we consider this practice totally unacceptable and very cruel for the animals. We would not fly with any airline that allows pets to travel with the passenger in their seat. This practice is just as bad as European restaurant and cafe customers being allowed to bring their dogs into the establishment. The world has gone completely bonkers in our opinion.

I think you should have a pets only flight with owners, so that customers that dislike dogs and cats can be offered an alternative flight. I would not be be happy to have animals in the cabin
