Also: The best themed cruises. [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Aug 27, 2022 FLYING WITH YOUR DOG
Growing up, I never was a fan of dogs. But now that I have two — a black Labrador retriever named Amelia and a chocolate Lab mix named Patty, who you see in the photo above — there's no way Iâm ever going back to my dogless days. So, naturally, the topic of pet travel has become an important one for me in recent years. In honor of National Dog Day, which was Friday, Iâd like to revisit one of my favorite assignments Iâve done for TPG since I joined last year. In January, [my girlfriend and I flew with Patty from Houston's William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to Dallas Love Field (DAL) on JSX]( the semiprivate air carrier that operates a fleet of Embraer Regional Jet aircraft. JSX has perhaps one of the most lenient pet-in-cabin policies of any carrier: For the price of a second seat, you can fly with your furry canine friend, as long as they weigh 65 pounds or less. For owners of larger dogs that are not emotional support or service animals, JSX is a great alternative to traveling with your pet in the cargo hold (which I refuse to do). The downside is that JSX has a somewhat limited route network (though itâs growing), and one ticket — let alone two — on many of JSXâs routes can be pricey. Here are some other TPG resources for traveling with a canine companion:
