Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2010 -- These days, a furry friend in an airport terminal is certainly not an uncommon sight. For such privileged pets, the benefit of a boarding pass and a comfortable seat is nowhere near enough. Most dog owners go to great lengths making sure their beloved companion looks their best, especially when traveling. In an effort to give canines a true first-class experience, air travel expert Gailen David has partnered with canine couture designer, Kiki Hamann, to make sure dogs not only travel comfortably, but travel in ultimate luxury and high-rising fashion.

With more than 30 years of experience in the airline and travel industry, Gailen David, a.k.a. The Sky Steward has introduced passengers to Jetiquette, an award winning program that helps promote a more civilized air travel experience. Beyond human contact, David recognizes the importance of travel advice, and particularly all the do’s and don’ts of traveling with pets. Instead of the typical pet carriers, he encourages travelers to add a bit of chicness to express their pets’ eclectic personalities and allow them to travel as cozy as their owners. With his fans’ best interest in mind, David recommends his loyal followers to Kiki Hamann, canine stylist to the stars.

Well-known designer, Kiki Hamann, creates customized canine accessories that suit and personalize not only the dog, but the owner as well. She is best recognized for adding lavish detail to otherwise dull utilitarian canine merchandise. Hamann prides herself in creating unique and trendy handmade pieces in limited editions, as Gailen David offers tips on how to travel with your pooch without hindering fellow passengers’ journeys -- It’s only natural for these two creative characters to teach pet-lovers how to travel with class in the season’s latest looks.

Kiki Hamann creates her products from top quality leather, suede and fabric with guaranteed durability. These materials easily capture the dog’s individual scent to help them feel secure in foreign places when traveling. Kiki states, “I also thought about all the things we sometimes need to have accessible when carrying our doggies around, so I gave the carriers many handy pockets all around in carrousel style.”

Gailen David applauds proactive approaches to traveling with such small individuals while maintaining proper Jetiquette during the trip. Amongst his long list of notable tips, he recommends that travelers check the website of the airline they intend to fly with since each airline maintains its own policies regarding pet travel. He also advices to bring a medicine dropper to offer pets a sip of water on long flights, in addition to avoiding the temptation of removing the pup from the security of their carrier during the flight since it is unmistakable how many fans the beloved furry friend will have!
