A Dalmatian was recently seen traveling in the business class cabin of a Singapore Airlines flight to Japan. The journey was documented on social media by the Instagram account "spottytheswissdalmatian," showing the dog enjoying the airline's lounge and relaxing during the five-hour flight.
Spotty, as the Dalmatian is named, is a fully registered service dog. According to Singapore Airlines' policy, only fully vaccinated, government-certified service dogs are allowed in the cabin. Other pets must travel as checked baggage or cargo. Passengers with pets must prepare necessary documents for a smooth journey. The airline permits cats and dogs but not prohibited breeds or pregnant animals.
This sighting follows news about Bark Air, a private charter airline for dogs that launched in May 2024. Bark Air provides a 100% dog-friendly experience using Gulfstream G5s and G4s. "BARK Air is here to deliver a truly 100% dog friendly airline," states their website.
