Can you take a big dog on a private jet?

A: Yes, pets can travel by private jet too. Unlike commercial airlines where they'd be in the cargo hold, in a private jet they can be in the cabin alongside you. Providing their documents are up to date, your animals can depart from the many pet friendly airports and enjoy being part of the private pet set.
