Virgin Australia will allow small pets to fly with passengers on set flights between Victoria and Queensland from Oct. 16.

The airline will become the first in Australia to allow regular pets on aircrafts after receiving regulatory approval. Pets already routinely fly on flights within the United States and parts of Europe.
