The new routes represent a major milestone for the carrier, continuing to bridge the gap between North American pet parents and European cultural hubs.

As I stepped off a train in Florence into heat so brutal it felt like the city was actively trying to kill me, I wondered if I'd made the right decision. This was my first time in Italy, yet I'd already committed to leaving the US and calling it home.

Your wanderlust doesn't have to end just because you've got a furry, feathered, or scaly friend waiting at home.

Frustrated by how hard it was to fly with his own Labradors, Maple and Willow - and often having to leave them behind - entrepreneur Benton Miller founded RetrievAir, a pet airline that lets oversized dogs (or any-sized dog or cat) ride in the cabin alongside their owners.

Concierges often come from a veterinary technician, rescue, daycare, or animal care background, Novotny said. Novotny gave the example of a family from the East Coast who traveled to a resort in Orange County.
