Travelling with a pet can be a stressful and expensive ordeal, but Delta Air Lines have come up with a way to put passengers at ease when their pet is in the carrier below.
The new pet GPS system allows owners to track their furry friends’ journeys in real time, from monitoring the temperature below, to whether their cage is upright or askew.
The first-of-its-kind technology is available for $50 (R592) a flight from 10 US airports.
The move was no doubt aimed to make passengers feel safer about bringing their pets with them on flights, as Delta Air Lines has a less than rosy history of pet fatalities on board.
Tragically between 2010 and 2013, Delta reported the greatest number of animal incidents and was held responsible for 41 of the 97 reported deaths during those years.
