The World’s First Airline Designed Entirely for Dogs 🐾✈️

We first told you about BARK Air last year, when the world’s first dog-first airline took off. In 2025, the concept is soaring higher than ever. Travel is no longer just about people. BARK Air has flipped the script, creating an airline where dogs ride in the cabin, stretch out in comfort, and enjoy concierge-level care from check-in to touchdown. No cargo holds, no carriers, no stress—just happy pups and relaxed humans flying side by side.

What Exactly Is BARK Air?

BARK Air is the world’s first airline designed entirely around dogs and the people who love them. Unlike traditional carriers, dogs do not ride in the cargo hold. Instead, they sit in the cabin with seats, space, and service tailored to their needs.

Here is how it works: after booking, a BARK Air concierge reaches out to learn about your dog and travel plans. On flight day, you arrive just 45 minutes before boarding, skip the long lines, and breeze through a simple check-in. At the gate, pups can socialize before heading onboard. Once inside, they are greeted with calming music, cozy spaces, and even ear-friendly drinks during takeoff and landing. Snacks, treats, and surprises keep tails wagging while humans relax knowing their pets are safe, happy, and stress-free.

Where They Fly

BARK Air continues to grow its network. Current routes connect New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Seattle, and San Francisco, with more destinations on the way.

For flexibility, travelers can choose a private charter for their whole pack, or join a shared charter where extra seats on private flights are opened to others on the same route. This makes dog-first luxury more accessible while keeping the signature BARK Air experience.

And for those new to pet travel, the Companion Concierge service helps with everything from vet coordination to international customs, making sure every pawprint is cleared for takeoff.

Travel is always better when you can share it with your best friend, and BARK Air makes that possible. Every detail is designed for comfort and connection, turning each journey into an experience you and your pup can enjoy together. ✨
