The Stress-Free Way to Travel to the AKC National Championship: How Signature Pet Transport is Changing the Game

Every year, the AKC National Championship draws thousands of purebred dog owners, breeders, and handlers to Orlando for one of the biggest events in the dog show world. While this is a can’t-miss event, getting there can be a logistical nightmare. Long drives, high travel costs, and stressed-out dogs can take a toll on both handlers and their prized companions.

But what if there was a better way?

Signature Pet Transport (SPT) is here to offer a stress-free, comfortable, and luxurious alternative to cross-country drives, ensuring you and your dogs arrive ready to perform at your best.

The Saab 2000 aircraft, known for its speed and efficiency, is one of the fastest turboprop planes in the world, ensuring a quick and smooth journey to Orlando. With spacious seating and advanced safety features, it provides both comfort and reliability for you and your dogs during the flight.

Why the Traditional Cross-Country Drive is a Hassle

For many, driving from the West Coast to Orlando can take over a week of hard travel. You’ll spend 8-10 days behind the wheel, logging around 5,000 miles of driving. Not to mention, you’ll be paying for gas, hotels, meals, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle.

But perhaps the biggest issue is the toll it takes on your dogs. Spending days confined in a crate during a bumpy, uncomfortable road trip isn’t ideal for any show dog, especially not one preparing to compete on the national stage. By the time you arrive, both you and your dogs are likely to be exhausted.

So, what’s the solution?

Signature Pet Transport: The Game-Changer for Show Dog Travel

Signature Pet Transport eliminates the need for stressful road trips by offering a luxury charter flight experience designed for both dogs and their handlers. Here’s how we’re redefining the way you travel to major dog shows:

  1. Comfort and Convenience
    With SPT, you can skip the multi-day drive and arrive in Orlando in just a few short hours. Our flights are designed with comfort in mind—both for human travelers and their canine companions. No more cramped, stressful travel for your dogs. They’ll enjoy safe, spacious accommodations, ensuring they arrive relaxed and ready to compete.

  2. Luxury VIP Experience
    We don’t just get you to Orlando—we offer an exclusive VIP experience that no other transport service can match. Every passenger on our charter flights will have access to a private exhibitor’s lounge, perfect for relaxing and preparing for the big event. This space is sponsored by Doggit and Best In Show Magazine—valued at $10,000, included as part of your flight.

  3. Ground Transportation Made Easy
    Once you land in Orlando, your travel headaches are still over. Signature Pet Transport provides ground transportation for you and your dogs. We’ll handle your pickups and drop-offs, so you can focus on what matters—preparing your dogs for the ring.

  4. Exclusive Access to the Best In Show Magazine Black Tie Gala
    As an added bonus, every human traveler on our flights receives a VIP ticket to the Best In Show Magazine Black Tie Gala. This prestigious event is a must-attend for the dog show elite, and it’s included in your travel package—an exclusive perk only available through Signature Pet Transport.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Saving Time and Money

Let’s break down the costs:

  • Driving to Orlando: A 5,000-mile round trip could cost upwards of $6,000 to $8,000 when factoring in gas, hotels, meals, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle. That’s not even counting the time spent on the road—8-10 days you could be using to prepare for the show.

  • Flying with Signature Pet Transport: Our luxury charter flights are priced competitively, offering a roundtrip package that includes not only transportation but also VIP access, lounge privileges, and ground transport. While driving might seem cheaper at first glance, once you factor in time and comfort, the true value of flying with SPT becomes clear.
