My wife, loaded down with two carry-ons and the dog, said "I know. I hope ..." She was going to say "I hope he's not going to be a problem," when the flight attendant leaned over to a co-worker and said "Yeah, she better hope." That just amazed us that we paid $160 round-trip to fly with our dog, we follow all the rules, and we get an attitude like that. |
It is examples like what you posted that is the reason I posted encouragement earlier that if anyone is contemplating flying with their pup, prepare your pup to have to remain in their carrier for the duration of your trip just in case the rules are enforced.
Exceptions to the rules happen but you can't count on them!
