The Scoop: JetBlue Unveils JetPaws Program
JetBlue wants your furry friends to fly the friendly skies! The airline (which saddened us by raising prices earlier this year), just announced a brand-new program for jetting with your pet. In addition to a downloadable Travel Pettiquette guide, as part of the new JetPaws, customers will receive two TrueBlue customer loyalty program bonus points for each trip – that way your furball can help you earn frequent flier points, whether or not they're invited next time!
The Scoop: JetBlue Doubles Prices for Underseat Pets
All this talk of what the airlines are charging for the details, got me thinking about my lil detail, North. He loves being included in my life – and lets me know when he doesn't feel that way – but, boy, can the price of plane tickets get us down! When looking into a summer trip with my pooch this week, I realized a very shocking (and troubling) fact: JetBlue has doubled the price of a cabin pet from $50 to $100.

Pay As You Go: Check Out My Handy Chart of Airlines' Pet Fees
For most of us — the most that wouldn't have hundreds of dollars to spare, won't take multiple trips a season or don't own a private jet — the price of air travel with pets can prohibit inclusion of furry friends in all but the most important of situations (like relocation). If you're wondering how much it will cost to include a pet on your next trip, I've gathered up the prices for the major airlines. How much will you pay as you go?
Pet Flys Makes It Easier to Fly With Fido and Sassy
If you're as bummed as I am after hearing that Jetblue has doubled the pet-as-personal-item fee from $50 to $100, then you might be browsing other airlines to get you and your pet where you need to go this travel season. Thankfully, with Pet Flys carrier bags, you can at least do it in style. I'm loving their line of cute and handy pet carriers that come in three sizes (mini to medium) and are totally airline approved.
Does Your Pet Need Frequent Flier Miles?
When I lived in NYC, North could have chalked up quite the frequent flier miles as we flew home to my parents' house several times a year on JetBlue, back when it was just $50 each way. Nowadays, we usually travel in the car or on public transportation, but North's still got his puppy wings ready for the next vacay. With the increasing cost of fuel, those upcoming Summer road trips – and plane trips – can be few and far between.
