Private Charter
The ultimate in peace of mind, comfort, and convenience for our clients who want the very best for their pet, including medium-large breeds and animals that need special attention.
The comfort and safety of your pet is always our highest priority.
However, many pets are unable to enjoy the comfort of traveling in-cabin on a commercial airline due to their size or special needs.
For a top show dog, we want them to arrive at their destination in top form and stress-free to take on the competition in the show ring.
For others, they want a more convenient, concierge-quality experience that safely delivers them to their destination without all the hustle and bustle (and stress!) of a commercial flight.
Which is why we advocate in-cabin transport over cargo. However, commercial airlines limit the size and weight of pets-in-cabin to around 20 pounds (9kg). This is a problem for folks with larger pets.
By booking a private pet transport, your medium-large breed dogs can enjoy the calm and safety of travel in the passenger cabin with their personal Travel Guardian always by their side.
Beyond Legendary Service
Go above and beyond our incredible level of service with direct access to Signature Pet Transport owner Christian as your personal pet travel concierge or travel guardian.
On private charter flights, you, the pet’s owner or handler are encouraged to join us on the flight. Sit back and relax the entire journey while Christian takes care of all your pet’s needs.
Leave Everything to Us
We will coordinate every aspect of your pet’s journey from airport drop-off and pick up, ground transportation, rental cars, hotel bookings, and more.
Whatever you need during your pet’s trip, we will arrange, so you don’t have to.
Large & Exotic Animals Welcome
From large dog breeds to exotic animals, more breeds and species of animals can fly on private flights.
Private flights can welcome pets up to 200 pounds (~91kg). Pets over 50 pounds (~25kg) will need to occupy a seat for taxi, take off, and landing.
Unmatched Comfort and Convenience
These flights depart from private airports and terminals, which means there are no long security lines, no crowds, and no stressful connections.
Your pet can arrive at any time prior to departure for a private flight.
Your pet can travel free of their carrier if they choose. They can travel on a seat, couch, floor, or lap, wherever they feel most comfortable.
