| it's just one more insane way to get money from us and supposedly most of them will be raising their rates, as they all keep charging for everything

| When we traveled KLM last summer, at the airport everyone was oooh and aaaah and oh he's so cute! On the plane was a diff story. Dont get me wrong, they were very nice and polite about it, but when she saw jake on our lap she said that KLM doesnt allow that. But by her expression it was obvious she wasnt the one that made that rule. KLM is 150 for under 10lb i think? But WTH why so expensive?? So I might as well take my big carryon purse and put my baby in there! No one will know. Except when they see her at the security gate lol. But no one there will say anything. Theyre all oooh and aaah.

| oh yes definately... especially when they are your carryon, so its not even like you are taking 2 carryon bags... just one, and they do not charge you for a carry on bag! I don't get it either. I know they want to make money any way they can, but it could be a bit more affordable in my opinion... like $100 round trip! ggeezz

in some cases you may be paying more for your baby's ticket then for your own!! AND they don't even give you an extra seat!! if that's the case i wonder if you could just buy another passenger ticket.. and get another seat all to yourself(but that wouldn't make the pet fee go away, i guess) geez so frusterating.. all that money for UNDER THE SEAT!! but what do you expect, i guess.. like dee said in an earlier post.. $4.50 for some water & no more pillows/blankets!!

| I think it is very wrong!! I am paying an extra $100.00 ($50 each)for my 2 on WestJet as we are flying one way to Prince Edward Island on the 4th August. Atleast they get to be under my seat with my dh and myself! I can't believe it costs so much more because they don't take up any room, don't eat or drink anything and don't need any service from the Stewardess

| I know this is an older thread.... but i saw this and couldn't resist adding.... On American Airlines a child under 2, sits on their parents lap and flies for free. I just checked their website, and this policy is still valid. I just think its funny....because my dogs are quieter than most of the children I encounter flying ~In no way am I insulting children, I am a proud aunt to a 5 year old princess and love little munchkins (we plan on having 2-3 of our own one day!)....just thought it was funny Since the yorkies are like our children. |

| I always thought $50 was crazy because like you said they are under the seat. This year most airlines raised the rate to $80 one way. But then again, everything seems to be going up. LuLu, Bosley Beamer, and Baby Zoey's Mommy |

| If you ship cargo one way is $200 and up depending on weight and crate size. Now that's ridiculous!!

| I also agree, I lost my sister in the 911 attacks she was in the pentagon. so I planned to go this year to the events and take my little yorkie Fantasia, I called 3 airlines and my ticket is 144.48 quoted from the airlines I called and for her I was told 125,150,100, and those was each way and mine is round trip and she will be under the seat. my son said for those prices she needs her on seat and a pillow and a drink. Its less the a 2hr flight. |

I was so happy to have her go with me that I would have paid whatever price they asked. I just couldn't have left her. I would have had to stay home if she couldn't go. | |
