Earlier this week, another pupper made news. A Maltese dog named Bela travelled business class with her person from Mumbai to Chennai. Her person reportedly spent over Rs 2.5 lakh and booked entire business class so that the dog can travel comfortably.
As per reports, the dog travelled in an Air India flight which is the only pet friendly airline in India. The airline reportedly ferried over 2000 pets in its domestic flights between June and September this year. 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.
