Dog travels in business class, the owner booked all seats
Reportedly, the woman spent around Rs 2.5 lakh for her pet to travel. According to the ANI report, the fare for a business class seat on the Mumbai to Chennai Air India flight is about Rs 20,000. A Chennai airport official revealed to ANI that on Wednesday, Sep 15, the Maltese dog, Bela travelled in business class from Mumbai to Chennai Air India Flight AI671. They further added that the pet owner had booked all the business class seats. Air India allows two pets at the most for domestic sectors.
According to a report Air India ferried as many as 2000 pets on its domestic flights between the months of June and September. Air India is also the only airline in India that allows pets in the passenger cabin. The airline allows pets on board depending on vaccination requirements for the animal. While pets can be accommodated in the cargo area or the cabin, depending on their size, in business class, pets are usually seated in the last row.
Travelling with dogs isn't uncommon
Recently, adventure filmmaker Shams took a trip with his dog Ouka over the famous mountain pass in France, Col du Granon. The adventurous duo went paragliding after only two months of being together. Taking to his Instagram handle, the filmmaker said, "After only two months with me, I build a trust big enough between @ouka.sam and me to bring him in the air with me." He further said that his bet was the "biggest positive thing" that happened to him in many months.
In a video, we see Ouka and Shams paragliding together with Limhal's song "Never Ending" playing in the background. The dog rode below the filmmaker. The latter petted him from time to time to ensure that he was comfortable while he filmed the video. Ouka seemed to be enjoying his ride along with his owner.

She further said, "I don’t think I pushed her that hard, I just pushed her enough to make her lose her balance." Read more about the incident here.
