Pets Can Fly South for the Winter

Pet Airways announces our new service between New York and Florida

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Pet Airways,
(http://www.petairways.com) today announced the opening of its new route
between New York and Florida.

Adding to the 5 cities it now serves - New York, Washington D.C., Chicago,
Denver and Los Angeles - Pet Airways is now beginning its expansion of routes
with a new weekly service to Ft Lauderdale.

Pet Parents may now make reservations at www.petairways.com for flights
beginning in December.

Pet Airways has received a tremendous response to its service across the U.S.,
with flights completely booked 2 months in advance, says Dan Wiesel,
President/CEO of Pet Airways. We have been overwhelmed by all the positive
feedback to our mission of flying pets safely and comfortably in the main
cabin, not in cargo. It is so fantastic to see the happy faces of all the pets
and pet parents after the flights.

Background on Pet Travel

Until July, when Pet Airways was launched, pet parents, who wanted to
transport their pets across the country, were faced with limited or
potentially dangerous transportation choices.

Many airlines allow small pets to travel with their owners, as long as they
are stowed under the seat. Pets that are too big to fit under the seat are
relegated to cargo, and unfortunately in many cases, are treated as such.

According to the Animal, Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
"virtually every major airline has been cited and fined for repeatedly
mishandling animals." As a result of a lack of oxygen and temperature control
in the cargo holds, the most common causes of death are suffocation and heat
prostration, although one airline was cited for placing a dog too close to a
motor, which burned the animal.

Put simply, putting pets in the cargo area of passenger airlines is not a safe
mode of transportation for our pets.

The Pet Airways Experience

The greatest issue facing pet parents when they want to transport their pets,
aside from the dilemma and trauma of putting their loved ones in cargo holds,
is the inability to know who, if anyone, is taking care of their pet and where
or how their pet is being treated. It is a very stressful experience.

Pet Airways has solved this problem completely.

From the moment a pet is dropped off at our Pet Lounge, pets are under the
care of our Pet Attendants. Our Pet Attendants are Certified Veterinary
Technicians that are trained in caring for pets. A Pet Attendant is always
present, before, during and after the flight to make sure our pawsengers are
comfortable and safe. Pets are never left alone. In flight, pets are in the
main cabin of our planes which are fully climate controlled to make sure that
the temperature is just right, and that there is an adequate level of fresh
circulating air.

Pawsengers are boarded and de-boarded from planes as quickly as possible,
never left in the cold or heat, and depending on transit time, are offered
toilet facilities, food and water as necessary during stops. Pet Parents can
be sure that their pets are receiving careful handling while having the peace
of mind that their pets are well looked after by people who care as much about
their pets as they do.

The Pet Airways goal is to make the pet travel experience more comfortable and
enjoyable for both pawsengers and their human families.

About Pet Airways

Founded in 2005 by Dan Wiesel and Alysa Binder, with the first Pet Airways
flight in July of 2009, Pet Airways was created to provide a safe and
comfortable solution for the transportation of pets. Inspiration for the
concept came from difficulties encountered when shipping Zoe, their Jack
Russell Terrier, across the country.
