Damn I was planning on bringing my emotional support scorpion with me. Guess I will have to leave it behind
Spencer ? When I read your comment I simply cracked up totally, you made me day Sir Thank You.
They are just following the other Airlines in this matter ? It's good though as so many have abused this once available item offered to some weak unable to live life as most of the rest of us do !!!!
I have small dogs in carriers that fit under the seat, I pay for mine each time, and they are both trained service dogs.. its just easier, no BS
I also take our small dog in a carrier and stick him under the seat. The question I have is why does the guy sitting next to me put his carryon under the seat for free and I need to pay 95 dollars each way (less than the cost of my seat) for a carryon contained dog? What exactly am I paying for? Just another way for the airline to capture a few more dollars.
Perhaps it’s additional cleaning. I’m allergic to loads of animals. It’s not just the fur - usually it’s dander/saliva in the vicinity too. I’d have to ask to move or the pet owner/pet to move if I found myself next to someone with a pet.
That is correct as far as cleaning. Also the counter agent is supposed to measure the pet container before printing the boarding pass. If the passenger has his boarding pass on his phone and bypasses the counter the gate agent is suppose to measure the case. It is an additional burden.
There is a tag on the carryon which acts like a ticket. I doubt there is any xtra cleaning under the seat in front of me. Certainly no more than the screaming 2 year old who throws up on the seat next to me
Your dog is probably cleaner and quieter than a screaming two year old but the airline can't come out against motherhood.
