Now your pet can be a frequent flyer

Virgin Atlantic airlines has devised a "frequent paws" scheme that allows pets who fly with you to rack up their own frequent flyer miles.

As more pet owners travel, airlines have seen a way to cash in on the sentimental who can't leave the pet behind, or who don't have a caretaker for their pet. It's not cheap.

The story is at Animal Planet.com and focuses on a high-flying rabbit named Yahoo.

How big/small may the dogs be? Or do they welcome every pet?

They didn't say in the article about dog size or type of pet (other than the articule focused on dogs). I bet if the pet is small enough they would take any if it was in a carrier.

Yes, I am already having nightmares about "the switch" - being back in the US and accidentally driving on the left!

Before moving to Africa, I took my burmese cat on a flight from Austin to San Francisco to live with my mom while I am away. Although it's nice to know she could get ff miles, I sincerely hope to never repeat that experience!

Cheers,
Ali
