Westminster Kennel Club
Dog Show
If you’re like many of our clients, you don’t have the time or desire to spend days or weeks driving your dogs and equipment across the country every year for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
We’re offering a first-of-its-kind shared showdog-dedcated charter flight between Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY for the 2025 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Flying with your dog in the aircraft cabin is the fastest and easiest way to travel to the world’s premiere event for show dogs… and when you book a shared private charter flight, you and your prized pooch will arrive refreshed and ready to take on the competition!
Roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles to New York
Your dog will enjoy the calm and safety of traveling in the passenger cabin by your side. Plus, you’ll enjoy complimentary refreshments and snacks on board.
Enjoy unparalleled comfort and safety
With almost 48 inches of leg room at each seat, your dog can sit on your lap or at your feet. No crates or carriers are required for dogs, which makes this perfect for traveling comfortably with a large dog.
Just walk onboard and deplane in minutes
These flights operate out of private airports and terminals, so you and your dog won’t be stressed by the crowds, the noise, and general chaos of a commercial airport. Private security screening means no hassle for you or your dog.
THE DETAILS
Passengers
One purchased seat entitles one human to bring one dog (any size) OR a maximum of two small dogs that weigh under 50 pounds each.
If you have two dogs that each weigh 51 pounds or more, you will need to purchase two seats. This is to ensure the comfort and safety of everyone onboard.
Luggage
Your ticket enables you to bring up to 80 pounds of luggage.
This could be a suitcase for you plus your dog’s crate or tack box filled with their food, grooming, and show supplies.
Traveling to and from the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show has never been so stress-free!
Why you can NO LONGER AFFORD to drive across the country to show your dog!
A roundtrip journey from Los Angeles to New York is approximately 5,000 miles, which will cost you:
8–10 days of driving 8–10 hours per day
$1,565 for 313 gallons of gas at $5 per gallon and 16 miles per gallon.
$1,050 in hotel expenses for 7 nights at a 2- or 3-star hotel for $150 per night.
$450 in meal expenses at $50 per day.
$500 in vehicle wear and tear at about $0.10 per mile for 5,000 miles
Sure, your trip will cost you $3,565 in cash… BUT:
How much will 9 days away from your job or business cost you in lost income?
If you make $40 per hour and work full time, you would be giving up $2,560 to $3,200 in income!
And what if instead of having to use paid time off to cover your 9 days of travel, you only had to spend TWO days traveling, leaving the rest of your time off for family, friends, and fun?
The truth is, driving cross-country will cost you between $6,000 & $8,000 roundtrip, AND the 8-10 days of your life that you will never get back.
Why Top Handlers Are Choosing Private Flights to Westminster
Getting show dogs to the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York isn’t easy—especially from the West Coast. In this interview, pro show dog handler Janice Hayes shares exactly why she, and other top handlers, are turning to private flights with PetAirX for peace of mind, convenience, and the confidence that their dogs arrive show-ready.
"Every time the weather shifts, our travel plans do too—it’s exhausting and stressful."
"Flying private means I don’t have to worry about last-minute cancellations or detours because of a blizzard."
"By the time we drive across the country, the dogs—and we—are worn out. This option changes everything."
Watch the full interview to hear Janice’s firsthand experience and see why this could be the smartest way to get to Westminster!
How much does a shared private charter flight cost?
A mistake people make is thinking the “do-it-yourself” route is cheaper. As we’ve seen, the tangible costs and the costs of spending 8–10 days on the road just to drive to and from the show quickly add up, not to mention the toll on your stress and sanity!
So next, people say, “Oh, I can just ship my dog in cargo underneath the aircraft.”
Which is possible! You can put your prized show dog in a crate and let the airline cram it in the dark, noisy, and cold cargo hold.
If you’re like us (and our clients who are top breeders and show winners), you want your purebred show dog to arrive at their destination in great form to take on the competition in the show ring, not disoriented, stressed, and sore from the journey.
The only solution is to travel with your dog in the comfort of the aircraft cabin onboard a shared private charter flight.
You can book your roundtrip ticket now for only $9,997!
