Stories, insights, and guidance from the world of luxury pet travel.
From booking through to arrival, Vicuna Air supports the practical details around travelling with your pet, from pre-flight preparation and documentation guidance, to in-cabin travel and onward chauffeur transport.
Read the story of one rather remarkable dog and her owner, crossing the Atlantic together to start their new chapter.
Every Vicuna Air charter flies on a Gulfstream GV, operated for us by Talon Air. The aircraft shapes more of the journey than most people would expect: the space, the hours in the air, and the air itself. All of it designed to make a long flight comfortable; that extends to every passenger on board, two-legged or four. Here is what the aircraft is, and why we chose it.
There is a pheromone diffuser running in the cabin of every Vicuna Air flight. Calming pheromones are a synthetic copy of a signal that mother dogs produce for their puppies. Here is what they are, what the research does and does not show, and why we treat them as part of a much larger effort to keep every passenger calm.
Five flights, five days and a total of fifty flying pets, all travelling in the cabin right beside their owners or one of our dedicated Vicuna Concierges. Between 1 and 5 September, our crew flew back and forth across the Atlantic with a range of furry companions on board. From our largest four-legged passenger, a 70kg mastiff, to our first Guinea pigs. Here are some of the main highlights from a very memorable week for Vicuna Air.
Extend your Vicuna journey beyond the airport with beautifully planned, pet-friendly routes across Europe by train, ferry and private transfer.

The complete documentation guide for flying your dog from the UK to the US.
A few years ago, if your pet was too large to fit under an airline seat and hiring an entire private jet was out of reach, the choice felt painfully limited: put them in the cargo hold, or do not fly at all. That has changed. A small handful of pay-by-seat charter operators now specialise almost entirely in pet travel, and if you have started researching your options, three names will have kept coming up: Vicuna Air, Bark Air and K9 Jets.
