〔心願〕I want to Flying with Ban by Flying Paws @ ∘到處存在的場所∘到處不存在的我

現代人養寵物就像養兒子一般，出手一點都不猶豫。維京航空（ Virgin Atlantic ）最近推出「阿貓阿狗上青天（ Flying Paws ）專案」，吸引主人與寵物共乘，一起飛行至各地旅行。

航空公司並且為寵物設計一本專用飛行護照，方便記載各項資訊。儘管所費不貲，不忍心把寵物留在家中的人，一切都值得。

倉橋美榮（右圖右）就是一例。她帶著寵物兔子「雅虎」（右圖左），花了400歐元（約16000台幣）為「雅虎」買機票同行，免除了相隔兩地的「相思之苦」。

阿布也很想要跟斑斑一起坐飛機，但價位實在不便宜哩！但這個專案真得很吸引家中有寶貝寵物的人，這簡直就是達成了心中的渴望啊～～^^

Flying Paws 網頁的介紹，是這樣寫的：

THE PURRFECT REWARD

Your furry friends passengers are now be able to earn gifts for themselves and Flying Club miles for you with our great new reward scheme for pets - 'Flying Paws'. This scheme caters for posh pooches, fussy felines and even friendly ferrets!

Sir Richard Branson has said,

"Having pets of my own I know how important it is for our passengers to feel that their pets are well looked after when travelling. This reward scheme is unlike any other and will set a precedent amongst the four legged frequent flyers; after all it is a pawtastic club to belong to!"

On their very first Virgin Atlantic flight your jet setting pets will be given a welcome onboard pet pack, which has been specially designed with their needs in mind. Dogs will be given an exclusive Virgin Atlantic doggy t-shirt and sparkling dog tag; cats will receive a toy mouse called 'Red' and a Virgin Atlantic collar tag; and ferrets will receive a very cool limited edition flying jacket and collar tag. These exclusive gifts are part of a whole host of goodies available.

All pets that travel on the 'Passport for Pets' scheme will be given a passport which will not only gives you a record of all their flights but also allows them to collect 'paw prints' which you will be able to redeem for their gifts.

One 'paw print' is awarded per flight and once your furry travellers have collected five points they become eligible for some of the fantastic goodies available. How about a handmade Virgin bowl plus a specially designed nonslip mat so they can 'dine in style' or you can choose to donate their rewards, worth fifty human pounds, to their favourite registered animal charity or sanctuary. Alternatively, if your pet's feeling particularly loving, they can show their true feelings by donating 1,000 bonus Flying Club miles to you.

More individual gifts are available once your pet has flown ten, 15 or 20 times. Choose from blow dries and pedicures to Burberry, Prada and Gucci pet clothing, to a personal Pawtrait from the famous artist Cindy Lass, who is renowned for her paintings of celebrities furry companions around the world.
