Gold Coast pet owners can now take their furry companions on even more interstate adventures, with Virgin Australia expanding its popular Pets in Cabin service to Adelaide.
The first flight carrying pets between the Gold Coast and South Australia’s capital took off on Tuesday, marking the latest expansion of the airline’s pet-friendly network.
The move comes amid strong demand from travellers wanting to bring their four-legged family members along for the journey.
Since launching the service in October last year, almost 1,500 cats and dogs have travelled in Virgin Australia cabins across the country.
“Pets are part of the family, and we know how important it is for many Australians to be able to travel with them interstate,” Virgin Australia Chief Marketing and Customer Operations Officer, Libby Minogue, said.
“We’re thankful for the support of Adelaide Airport and our airport partners around the country as we continue expanding the network and making the service available to more guests and their pets.”
Until now, Gold Coast travellers could only fly with their pets on Virgin Australia services to and from Melbourne.
