Our client was planning the trip of a lifetime across Japan with their golden retriever, Ai.
Arranging a couple’s trip across Japan with their furry friend
A couple in Singapore got in touch with our charter experts for help arranging a month-long trip across Japan with their pet dog, a golden retriever named Ai. Travelling with pets can be tricky and many Japanese airports have strict requirements, but we knew exactly what was needed and got to work on a personalised charter solution.
Our Solution
Route: Singapore > Kagoshima
Nagoya > Singapore
Aircraft: Bombardier Challenger 605
Sending over several quotes within hours of receiving the request, the couple opted to charter a spacious Challenger 605 from a pet-friendly operator who was happy for Ai to travel with her owners in the cabin. The aircraft could fly to Japan without the need for a fuel stop, making the flight as stress-free as possible for our clients and their furry friend.
The couple initially planned to fly to Nagano, however we suggested Kagoshima instead, as it was closer to their destination and more accommodating of animals. Once the route was confirmed, we worked with a specialist agent to expedite permits for Ai and confirm pet inspections at each airport, following up regularly to check on progress.
Wanting to make the flight extra special, our team picked up some treats for Ai and arranged gifts for the couple, ensuring they were waiting on the aircraft when they boarded.
The Finer Details
Expert Coordination: We coordinated with the operator, local airport authorities and ground handlers to ensure each flight went off without a hitch.
Buying Power: Our strong relationship with the operator meant we were able to negotiate a competitive price for our client.
