Okay, I know this is not breaking news, but I just paid ***$200*** to take Thor on a flight with me!
I was booking my rezzies for Christmas, and I was like, "oh, I'll go Virgin even though the ticket is slightly more expensive because I like Virgin", completely forgetting about pet fees. Then after waiting on hold for almost AN HOUR, they told me that it is $100 each way! So the ticket is not "slightly" more expensive, it is highway robbery.
Also, I just realized that I will have to check bags for the first time in maybe ten years because I will have Thor as a carry on, and I think Virgin charges an ungodly amount for checked bags also.
I am almost thinking about canceling the ticket and booking somewhere else... but I don't think I can bear to wait on the phone with Virgin to cancel and then another airline to book Thor.
Anyway, lesson learned, I guess. This is the first time I'm flying with Thor, so please wish us both luck.
