Pilot Jim King welcomes Pup on board a BARK Air flight in New York last month. BARK Air is coming to San Jose Mineta International Airport in the fall. BARK Air, a new charter plane service that allows people to fly with their dog at their side, is expanding to San Jose Mineta International Airport this fall, bringing what the company calls a “unique, stress-free and dog-centric travel experience” to the South Bay.
Flights between New York and Los Angeles run $10,000 roundtrip and a one-way ticket on the same route is $6,000. A ticket from New York to London will set you back $8,000. Prices for trips to and from San Jose have not been released yet. On travel day, dogs and their companions arrive at the airport an hour before the flight for a quick check-in process and private security screening. There is space for 14 dogs and people, but right now the airline is keeping it to nine humans and nine pups.
Dogs on BARK Air are treated to spa services and given warm scented towels and calming treats. The airline is expanding to San Jose Mineta International Airport in the fall. “It should be safe as long as dogs are kept at a distance when boarding and spaced apart on the plane,’’ she said. “It is likely safer then how the regular airlines board them now in the luggage area.”
