I fly with my little Lola quite a bit and have to say paying the extra fare is well worth it. There was a flight not to long ago that a lady took her dog on without paying and there was a little girl in front of them that was severly allergic and put her into a allergic fit not knowing there was a dog on board, they had to make a emergency landing only for the dog to bark and blow their cover (haha). Everyone was alright but when you reserve your dog on-board it helps when people do have allergies stay their distance and the flight booking agent is able to know where the dogs are. My little girl is only 4 lbs and never barks when she's in her bag, as soon as she goes under the seat she is sound asleep for the flight and know I could get away with not paying but don't want to make anyone sick and run the risk of the airlines cutting their dogs on board policy which in Canada we are getting close to. Just my two cents... |
