Flying with Pets on Private Jets: Everything You Need to Know Before You Board

Flying with your pet should feel effortless and calm. At Flyte, we treat pets like true passengers. They deserve comfort, security, and personal care from the moment you book to the moment you land.

Our team helps manage every step. We help you coordinate paperwork, vet requirements, cabin arrangements, and special requests. Your pet stays right with you in a quiet cabin designed around your schedule.

Here is everything you need to know to make your next flight stress free for you and your pet.

Why Flying Private with Pets Is Easier

Flying commercial often means anxiety, separation, and restrictive rules. Flying private means your pet always stays by your side. Pets remain in a calm, quiet cabin with you at all times. No cargo holds, crates under seats, or holding areas. Every flight is customized to your schedule and your pet’s needs. Our concierge team ensures comfort and safety from start to finish.

What Pets Can Fly on a Private Jet

Flyte welcomes most pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and even some exotic pets, provided they are healthy and suitable for travel. Traveling with multiple pets is no issue. Our team can recommend the ideal aircraft and seating arrangement for any scenario.

Keeping Your Pet Comfortable During Flight

Small pets can relax comfortably on your lap or in a carrier. Larger pets can stretch out safely in the cabin. Pets must remain leashed or harnessed during taxi, takeoff, and landing for safety. Bring familiar comforts like blankets, toys, or snacks. Our crew is experienced with animals of all temperaments, ensuring a stress free flight.

Our concierge can also arrange luxury bedding, gourmet pet meals prepared by our private chefs, or calming treats to help your pet stay calm and comfortable.

Essential Documents for Flying with Your Pet

Although not always a requirement, there are times when you will need a current health certificate and updated vaccination papers from your veterinarian, when traveling domestically. Flyte simplifies this process by handling all documentation and guiding you clearly through each step. We provide personalized checklists and ensure every detail is covered.

International Pet Travel Made Easy

Traveling internationally with pets can involve complex requirements like vet certifications, microchipping, vaccination records, and quarantine rules. Flyte’s concierge team can help simplify this process by guiding you clearly through what is needed and ensuring you understand each step. We’ll provide expert advice on paperwork and coordinate with appropriate authorities to help you achieve seamless customs clearance, keeping your pet’s travel experience smooth and stress free.

Personalized Pet Travel Experience

We understand pets are like furry family members. Just tell us what your pet needs, and our concierge team will help make it happen. If you opt for private dining onboard, we can coordinate with the chef to prepare a personalized, home cooked meal designed specifically for your pet’s dietary preferences. From arranging special bedding and comfort items to providing calming treats, our team is here to ensure your pet has everything they need for a comfortable and stress free journey.

Cost of Flying Private with Pets

Flyte charges a small fee when traveling with pets to ensure the aircraft undergoes thorough cleaning after each flight. This fee helps us maintain a pristine environment for all our guests, especially those with allergies. Additionally, in the unlikely event of any damages caused by pets onboard, extra fees may apply. Our concierge team will clearly communicate all potential costs upfront, ensuring complete transparency from booking through landing.
