I'm sitting here this morning reading the travel press (yeah I made it into the office but I'm having problems with the starting proper work thing) and there's an article about the new Virgin Atlantic Flying Paws reward scheme.
"The jet setting pets on their very first Virgin flight will be given a welcome onboard pet pack, which has been specially designed with their needs in mind. Dogs will be given an exclusive Virgin doggy t-shirt and sparkling dog tag, cats wll receive a toy mouse called 'Red' and a Virgin collar tag and ferrets will receive a very cool limited edition flying jacket and collar tag"
Naturally I went straight to the Virgin site to check it out but sadly no pictures of the ferrets as yet.
Thankfully this service is available only on certain internal US flights and to Johannesburg from the US. I have bookmarked the page so that next time I'm booking internal US flights I can make sure not to book on Virgin and therefore guarantee I will not be seated next to Paris Hilton.
When I was doing internal flights in China I was sat across the aisle from a lady with a chicken once (I have flight horror stories you wouldn't believe one day I may write a book). I think that was more of a practicality issue than a fashion statement but I can't help feeling that I should contact Virgin and suggest they make the link with my previous post about chicken clothing and their chinese flights and ask for an introduction fee.
