WestJet is getting in on the April fool’s fun announcing it is easing restrictions on pets in the cabin.
A video posted on line shows some unconventional pets including pigeons, raccoons and even a bear on board with staff.
“We recognize that a growing number of families want to travel with their ‘extended’ family and we are proud to be the first airline to offer this type of service,” said Richard Bartrem, WestJet’s Vice-President, Communications and Community Relations.
“Today, the definition of the family pet has grown to include animals beyond a dog or a cat and our more liberal approach will allow these guests and all their pets to move freely about the cabin.”
WestJet has been active in the Aprils’ fools game for the past few years. Last year’s “Cargo Kids” promised a child free cabin for your flight.
