How a Yorkie Traveled 24K Miles in 6 Countries with an ibiyaya Pet Stroller-Carrier

What if your next big adventure included your pup riding business class beside you? For one globe-trotting duo, that dream became reality.

The Instagram-famous pair behind @nycyorkiegirls—featuring Emily, the ever-poised Yorkshire Terrier—recently embarked on a 24,000-mile round-the-world (RTW) adventure spanning 6 countries, 12 flights, and 6 airlines, all in business class.

Their journey kicked off with a bang: a 15-hour Polaris flight (part of StarAlliance) on United Airlines from Newark New Jersey to Tokyo Narita. While most of us are still adjusting our neck pillows in economy, Emily curled up in comfort, wrapped in luxury from takeoff to touchdown.

Flying in Style with a Yorkshire Terrier

For pet parents curious about what it takes to travel like this, here’s the reality: it’s part passion, part logistics, and 100% love for your dog.

The flight with United Airlines featured everything from welcome drinks and warm nuts to an actual sundae cart—extra hot fudge included. And yes, Emily, a trained service animal, was right there in Polaris, enjoying it all.

This experience highlights just how important it is to choose the right gear. For long-haul flights, especially with smaller breeds like Yorkshire Terrier puppies, having a comfort-focused and an airline-approved pet carrier is a game-changer.

Enter ibiyaya’s travel-ready essentials:

JetPaw Expandable Pet Carrier – This United Airlines Dog Carrier checks all the boxes for international air travel. It’s in-cabin approved, breathable, and expands to give your dog extra room to stretch out mid-journey.
JetPaw 5-in-1 Pet Stroller – Once on the ground, navigating airports or city streets becomes a breeze with this stylish and sturdy airline-approved pet stroller for small dogs. Especially helpful during layovers or long customs queues.

These travel accessories are perfect for anyone seeking a United Polaris Dog Carrier solution that offers both function and flair.

Planning a Global Dog Trip Isn’t Easy—But It’s Worth It

As @nycyorkiegirls shared, coordinating such a trip took months of research. From airline pet policies to import regulations and carrier size limits, every step had to be double-checked. It’s a reminder that while the Instagram posts look dreamy, behind the scenes is a lot of planning—and a lot of love.

Flying with a dog isn’t always glamorous. Not every flight will have a sundae cart or red carpet jet bridge. But with the right gear, like ibiyaya’s JetPaw United Airlines Pet Carrier, even the most chaotic layovers feel manageable.

Dreaming of Jet-Setting with Your Pup?

Whether your adventure is halfway across the world or just a few cities over, traveling with your furry friend can be deeply rewarding. With thoughtful planning and trusted gear like the JetPaw United Airlines Dog Backpack or the JetPaw Pet Stroller, your dog can be right by your side—nap-ready and camera-ready.

After all, isn’t life better when your best friend comes along for the ride?
