Wintrust Business Minute: Airline for dogs and their owners is coming to Midway

Wintrust Business Lunch

Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute.

You and your pooch can travel together in style on a new airline catering to dogs and their owners. Bark Air launched in May and will expand later this year to include Chicago’s Midway Airport. The airline uses Gulfstream G5 aircraft and a first-class ticket comes with calming treats, scented towels, music and beverages, including chicken broth for your dog. Dogs can roam freely on the planes. The airline launched with flights connecting New York and Los Angeles but has expanded to other cities. In October, Bark Air will launch at Midway with flights to and from Miami, New York, Phoenix and San Jose. A single ticket includes travel for one dog and one human and costs $6,000. Bark Air says the price will come down as it expands.

Also, the Chicago Tribune is moving its newsroom to the West Loop. Listen for more below:
