Stories, insights, and guidance from the world of luxury pet travel.

Five flights, five days and a total of fifty flying pets, all travelling in the cabin right beside their owners or one of our dedicated Vicuna Concierges. Between 1 and 5 September, our crew flew back and forth across the Atlantic with a range of furry companions on board. From our largest four-legged passenger, a 70kg mastiff, to our first Guinea pigs. Here are some of the main highlights from a very memorable week for Vicuna Air.

A few years ago, if your pet was too large to fit under an airline seat and hiring an entire private jet was out of reach, the choice felt painfully limited: put them in the cargo hold, or do not fly at all. That has changed.
