ST. LOUIS, MO. -- A new airline is adding St. Louis as a destination, but this one is designed for those with four legs and a tail.

Pet Airways of Delray Beach, Fla., is the nation's only airline designed specifically for pets.  Click here to read the Pet Airways blog for more info about pet travel and lodging.

Officials at Lambert Airport in St. Louis say the airline is adding St. Louis to its network of 14 destinations.

Flights to and from Lambert will begin this summer.

Pet Airways began operations in 2009.  Pets on these flights are continuously monitored by an in-flight pet attendant in a climate-controlled cabin.

In case you were interested, we called out to Cape Air and were told that you can take a pet out of Quincy Regional Airport.

Cape Air says you can take small and medium sized pets.  They do have to be in a kennel and there is a $10 fee.

Do you think an in-flight pet attendant is too much for pets?  Tell us how you feel by commenting below or take your opinion to our Facebook page here.

For pets, is an in-flight pet attendant in a climate-controlled cabin just too much?
