The Week contest: Animal flight
This week's question: With humans shunning flights amid the pandemic, farm animals are becoming airlines' most reliable frequent fliers. Qatar Airways, for example, now transports 500 cows, goats, sheep, and horses every day. In seven words or fewer, please come up with an advertising slogan for an airline that promises to transport farm animals in first-class luxury.
