Vicuna Air Launches Vicuna Waypoints to Enhance Pet Travel Experience Across Europe
On August 20, 2026, Vicuna Air unveiled an innovative service named Vicuna Waypoints, aimed at revolutionizing the way travelers, both human and animal, navigate their journeys. By integrating land and air travel, Vicuna Air is expanding its offerings beyond just air transport, ensuring that pet owners can enjoy seamless travel experiences from the moment they leave their homes to their final destinations.
This new initiative is particularly exciting for pet enthusiasts. Vicuna Waypoints is designed to bridge the gap between various towns in Europe and the transatlantic flights, including the busy New York-Brussels route, that the airline operates. The name 'Waypoints' refers to the landmarks used in aviation to guide routes, signifying the company's commitment to guiding travelers through every step of their journey.
Vicuna Waypoints consists of two distinct offerings: the Express Route and the Scenic Route. The Express Route is tailored for those who prioritize efficiency. It promises a smooth ride by coordinating all transportation needs, ensuring pets travel comfortably alongside their owners. This service includes planning the fastest and most practical route with all necessary stops and accommodations catered specifically to pet requirements.
Conversely, the Scenic Route invites travelers to experience a leisurely journey over several days. This option promises a rich experience, combining luxury train rides, private car services, ferry crossings, and accommodation in pet-friendly hotels. The itinerary is curated with care, showcasing Europe's stunning landscapes while ensuring practical travel solutions.
Jamie Everett, the founder of Vicuna Air, stated, "Our ongoing mission is to make traveling with pets easier, more comfortable, and enjoyable. With Waypoints, we can extend the Vicuna experience beyond the direct cities we serve, without compromising on the quality of care and attention that is central to our travel philosophy. Whether customers choose the Express or Scenic option, the flight is just one part of their overall adventure."
One of the initial regions to benefit from the Waypoints expansion will be Northern Europe. Major direct links to Brussels will include key cities like Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. Additionally, travelers to more distant destinations such as Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo will now have access through Vicuna Waypoints. This development presents a new opportunity for pet owners in the area to conveniently connect to their transatlantic flights with Vicuna.
"We don't need to operate direct flights to every city to get you there," Everett explained. "That is the essence of Waypoints."
Vicuna Air, headquartered in London, is a premium airline specializing in pet transportation. The company successfully operates shared and private charter flights between Europe and the United States, allowing pets to fly in the cabin alongside their owners or a dedicated Vicuna concierge. This recent launch of Vicuna Waypoints emphasizes Vicuna Air's commitment to providing a premier travel experience for both pets and their owners, embodying their philosophy of pet-first service in every aspect of the travel journey.
