We all know our four-legged friends are members of the family, but it’s not always easy to bring them along on family travel. BARK Air, the first truly dog-first airline and travel service, looks to change all that by redefining dog hospitality. BARK Air was created for dogs and the people who love them, letting travelers swap cargo for spacious cabins and concierge-level care.

 

BARK Air is stepping confidently into its role as a disruptor in the space, with Skift and other industry heavyweights citing dog-friendly travel as the next big trend.

 

Exciting recent developments and announcements from BARK Air include:

  • BARK Air’s one-year anniversary, having flown more than 1,000 dogs across 142 flights and nearly 4,000 miles in its first year
  • BARK Air became a holistic dog hospitality brand offering new services beyond flights to make travel with dogs as seamless as possible, with more news potentially coming soon
  • A brand-new route to Lisbon joins existing routes from New York to Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Madrid and Paris

 

BARK Air flights begin with a concierge team dedicated to understanding each dog’s unique needs, from temperament to favorite music. Based on dog interaction in the airport lounge, the airline will determine where on the plane dogs are seated. The service experience includes amenities like pup cups, calming aids and more, with the airline also helping to navigate international travel logistics and protocols. Dogs and their humans can find joy in traveling with BARK Air.
