Flying has now gone to the dogs, at least in Frankfurt! In what all pet lovers hope will become a standard amenity, The Lufthansa Aviation Group has raised the bar for jet-setting pets. Called the Frankfurt Animal Lounge, Lufthansa has been planning this addition since the 1990’s.

The lounge will be made available to all animals flying through Frankfurt’s airport. Individual climate controlled chambers will ensure comfort for whatever species may happen to be passing through that day. Services are available to reduce the stress of traveling for their guests of honor.

Given that the airline already touts itself as a world leader in solutions for worldwide animal transport, this new endeavor will certainly secure ‘role model’ status regarding animals and air travel.

Lufthansa Cargo has been responsible for the safe transportation of thousands of animals. The airline is equipped to handle live bait, rare fish in addition to  the annual count of over 1,300 horses and over 10,000 house pets.

All creatures, large and small, will be taken care of near Gate 26 at the Animal Station built at Frankfurt Airport, which is purported to be the most modern service center for animal transport in the world.

When Louis Reginald, Ella Bean and I travel the globe to explore worldwide canine culture, we will be sure to make a stop at Frankfurt Airport and personally review the experience offered. Until then, visit their website for an in depth list of the amenities provided for animal transport.

P.S. Ella and Louis would both like to commend Lufthansa on their new facility as they demand nothing less then the same consideration as any two legged passenger.
