This is bit of an old thread but came across it my mistake and cant help myself reply.

I have flown 4 times from NY return with my dog - a boston terrier and she sits in her dog bag during the two hour flight. After my first initial flight where I paid $250 for the round trip for her and no one checked or bothered to do anything, I have for the last 3 times flown with her for free as airlines just rip people off. I take her on through security who dont give a crap about you carrying a dog through the xray with me, i take her on the flight who dont check or really care. So i harm no one's so called `freedom` by doing this. some of the replies to this thread are really rediculous.

Maybe i got away with it as I'm british and cheeky but there is no way i am travelling with my dog and she has to pay almost as much as me and she HAS to sit in her bag under the seat in front. if she got her own seat i wouldnt mind. but of course the looks i got when i asked that... i mean as if i was serious about her getting a seat. so i say screw the airline and screw the people that think its criminal. it really isnt. {Removed sentence}

you pay over priced charges for seats, then you have to pay for baggage, pay for drinks and food. so do you not see this is the airlines way of making you pay for another thing...

next thing you are being charged to use the washroom or breathing in the airline oxygen. and some of you here will pay it just thinking `oh thats the way it is`...

i say take your dog on. dont make a fuss about it. dont pay.
if all else fails act like a dumb british tourist if they do ever catch you. you will be surprised what i have got away with over the years.
