Southwest's pet policy is a little more reasonable, as is JetBlue.

Also, JetBlue doesn't charge for your first checked bag.
Don't know where you are going though...and JetBlue is only in certain cities I believe. But good luck to your son! |
I fly JetBlue with my baby too.
It is 100 each way but you get 300 extra points each way with the pet. Your pet counts as your personal item only, so you still get your carry on and your one piece of free checked luggage.
However, even so- I have always still brought my personal item (handbag) and no one has ever said anything- his carrier plus my bag both fit under the seat together, so thats why I think they don't care.
It IS frustrating that you need to pay so much to stuff your dog under the seat, but the person next to you can have a child up to two years old sitting on their lap, kicking and screaming, for NO additional cost. But over time you just learn to deal with it if you want to travel with your pet because there is no other option.
Have fun this weekend!
