Our pets are like family, and sometimes, traveling with family can be an unpleasant experience, especially for our furry friends. The stress of going through airport security and putting your loved one in a not-so-spacious crate under your airplane seat is a recipe for disaster. Our pets deserve better.
What if I told you there was an airline where your pets are treated like VIP passengers? Enter Bark Air by BARK, the world’s most dog-centric company. BARK specializes in making dogs happy with the best products, services and content. BARK’s dog-obsessed team applies its unique, data-driven understanding of what makes each dog special to design playstyle-specific toys, satisfying treats, food for your dog’s breed, effective and easy-to-use dental care, and dog-first experiences that foster the health and happiness of dogs everywhere.
Bark Air is a bespoke pet-friendly airline service that tailors the flight experience to prioritize your pet’s comfort. Both you and your furbaby will be pampered with spacious seating, gourmet treats, a pet-friendly beverage and fun surprises during the flight.

Bark Air goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort of their VIPs (very important pets). They prep the flight with calming pheromones, music, and colors that pups prefer. All furry passengers will have access to various aids such as calming treats, noise-canceling earmuffs, and calming jackets to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable flight.
As the world’s first pet-first airline, Bark Air strives to create a positive travel experience for family members who are often considered baggage.
“We believe this initiative will raise awareness of BARK’s mission,” Zahir Ibrahim, CFO at BARK, says. “Given we are not committed to booking flights far in advance, we have a lot of flexibility to opportunistically charter flights during times of high demand.”
Bark Air flights are currently available to the New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Fort Lauderdale Florida, San Francisco, Seattle, Madrid and Lisbon. Roundtrip flights start at $10,000, and one-way tickets vary from under to $1,000-$8,000 depending on the destination.

BARK was founded in 2011 by animal lover Matt Meeker, “When we started BARK in 2011, we were on a mission to disrupt the dog space and create products designed for dogs and their humans. We are excited to take the insights we’ve learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs—from the ground to the skies,” Meeker, co-founder and CEO at BARK, says. “We believe this initiative will help enrich the lives of dogs and their people around the world.”
