Pets fly $149 each way ( petairways.com ) --- no alcohol allowed onboard

Time for summer vacation! And the whole family's flying off to an adventure … well, everyone except for faithful old Buddy.
An airfare ticket for your pet may soon cost just as much as yours.

Poor Buddy -- his problem is, he's an 80-pound Labrador and the big boys aren't allowed in the cabin unless they're service dogs. Face it, the only service Buddy's been providing for the past 10 years is tennis ball destruction.

And who wants to stick their animal in cargo? It's dark, scary, and while it's rare, dogs can and do die there. So what to do?

Well, you might want to give Pet Airways a try.
