Virgin offers flight experience… for dogs
Virgin is inviting trainee guide dogs to fly on its Little Red flights between Manchester and Heathrow to familiarise themselves with the flying experience.
The airline has an agreement with Guide Dogs to enable the dogs to get experience of air travel before they accompany partially sighted or blind owners on airlines. ~
Geraldine Lundy, passenger accessibility manager at Virgin Atlantic said:~ "By enabling trainee guide dogs to take a trip on our Little Red service we’re hoping that more people will feel confident travelling by air with their canine companions."
Guide Dogs’ transport policy officer John Welsman said: "Atlantic. Many of our guide dog owners need to travel by plane regularly either for work or leisure, so the opportunity to prepare a guide dog while it’s in training is invaluable."
