airplane

You know that thing your cat does when it hears something that ever so slightly surprises it? That thing with both of its ears turning back at the same time? When their ears suddenly become an airplane and never fail to make you laugh? Well, it's time for an emergency landing into cat-love land where we love cats forever and always for every single part that they have. 

That includes the airplane ears ladies and gents. The ride will be mostly calm but with slight turbulence because owning a cat is always a ride. But landing into cat love land is always full of wonders and purring. 

Picture this: you're walking down the aisle in an airplane and when you find your seat, there's a turkey sitting next to it. Or a pig. Or a monkey. It sounds like a comedy routine, but it isn't. In the past few years, there has been an unprecedented rise in people having 'emotional support animals', particularly when traveling on airplanes. While any step towards improving mental health is applauded, there have been many incidents involving emotional support animals on airplanes that really don't belong there. We can't blame these untrained animals for acting the way animals act, but we can question the laws that allow them on board. With new regulations from the US Department of Transport, things are about to change. We discuss these changes below, and whether they are for the better or the worse. 

I'll admit it: I think my dog is better than 90% of the humans I know. Maybe 100%. I love spending time with him, he's always happy to see me, and all I have to do in return is feed him and pick up his poop. It's a good deal! Those with pets will know what I'm talking about. Our animals are our best friends, and we're not ashamed to admit it. 

When it comes to travelling, it's always bittersweet, knowing that my furry best friend is in a dog hostel while I'm seeing the world. But it doesn't have to be this way! You can take your dog or cat travelling with you. While getting out of airports is always a hassle, Doing so with your pets requires a little bit extra planning, and a some preparation. Some big airports are difficult to leave such as JFK airport or Ft. Lauderdale Airport and are known to be complex even without pets. Knowing what to do and what to prepare for, will make getting your good boy to you destinage that much smoother - Bon voyage.

Going on vacation could be the best thing ever or...could be less than we expected. Here are some hilarious memes only people who love to travel will understand.  Featuring the cutest animals...

During pre-flight checks on a Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 at Melbourne Airport few days ago, engineers came across this owl nestled cozily inside one of the engines, blissfully unaware of the fate that could've befallen him. This is a great example of the importance of pre-flight checks! people on twitter were very greatful to the Virgin's dedicated team. 

One of the country's most frequent flyers doesn't need the pampering of first class, or the fine wine. In fact when they travel, they sit in a quite unusual spot. And no it's not a chair. It's actually under the chair!

His name is Brogan and by the Guide Dog Australia, he is also believed to be the country's most travelled guide dog. In fact he just celebrated taking his 300^th flight this month.
