Bill > S2193

This bill, the Fly PETS Act (Fly Pet Exception for Traveling Swiftly Act), amends Title 49 of the United States Code to allow the use of federal funds to pay for the travel costs of federal personnel and their pets, including dogs, cats, or other animals deemed appropriate, when traveling on foreign air carriers. This exception to the Fly America Act applies to travel from a place outside the U.S. to a place in the U.S., from a place in the U.S. to a place outside the U.S., or between two places outside the U.S., if no U.S. air carrier is willing and able to transport the federal personnel and their accompanying pets. The amount paid for the foreign air carrier travel cannot exceed what would have been paid for a U.S. air carrier, and the federal personnel must pay any additional costs if the U.S. carrier's rates are lower.
