Welcome to Week 2 of PetRelocation.com's Pet Friendly Airline Spotlight series, featuring our favorite pet friendly airlines for travel with pets.  These Spotlights will highlight one airline each week, Monday through Thursday, through the month of May.  We'll take a look at the various aspects of their pet programs, including amenities offered for pets, how to book a pet flight on each airline and their fee structures.  For a look at the rest of our Airline Spotlight series, check out the Airline Spotlight page or on Twitter as #PetReloAS.

Known as a convenient, low-fare service, tails started wagging in the year 2000 when JetBlue began flying customers-and their pets-in comfort and style around the US.  JetBlue's JetPaws Pet Program only carries four-legged "pawsengers" in the aircraft cabin, said Corporate Communications Manager Alison Croyle.  "When we ordered our aircraft," Croyle said, "We decided not to take the optional aft cargo heat option; for the A320 fleet, and on our newest fleet type, the EMBRAER 190, we decided not to take the forward cargo ventilation option."

Without these cargo hold options, pets are not able to be safely transported under the plane.  Instead, JetBlue reserves its pet program exclusively for dogs and cats traveling in the cabin.  While this limits some travelers (for example, your pet will need to be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you), ultimately this decision certainly had a big upside for JetBlue and its customers' pets.  "We love our pets," said Coyle, "But we felt it was more important to be in a position to offer low fares for our two-legged customers."

This week, we'll look at the various resources that JetBlue provides for pets traveling in cabin, find out when in-cabin pet travel is a good solution for traveling with pets, as well as take a look at some of JetBlue's JetPaws booking policies and rewards.  Be sure to follow along on our blog and on Twitter.
