It is wrong, it is stealing...period. I think what bothers me more is your bragging. I am not thatttt old at 47 but I will tell you this, I am grateful that my children wouldn't even consider doing something like this. |
You know lynzy, I am NOT really that old, (63), but I certainly do FEEL that way....I come from entirely different socially acceptable behavior and what is expected of people.....you follow the rules, you pay your bills, you work hard and pay your way, you treat people like you want to be treated....just because YOU think a tube of lipstick costs too much, you are not ENTITLED to steal it! Just because you think airlines are screwing you to the wall wth all the fees and prices, that does NOT entitle you to steal your fare or the fare of your dog....just because YOU think movie ticket prices are way over priced, does not entitle you to sneak around in the theater, going from movie to movie, getting 5 movies for the price of one....I came from a generation that considers that stealing....and I figure if I am going to break that Commandment, "Thou shalt NOT steal", and risk going to Hell, it is going to be for a WHOLE lot more than the cost of a plane ticket, a movie, or a tube of lipstick! But again, that is just silly old me!!! I have a host of other sins that He is going to be eating my a$$ out about! AND THEN BRAG ABOUT HOW SLICK YOU ARE???????? |

I also think that the fee they charge is way to much, often more than my ticket. And the posters that say that they wind up having to give up a carry on bag is correct. Plus they allow children to a certain age to sit on your lap for free so what is the differnce. I believe the true reason they charge so much is they really don't want it to get out of hand, if it was free there might be a lot of dogs flying that don't do so now and a lot of non dog loving passengers would probably not like that, so in a way I get it. Long before 911 I flew every week for business and I snuck my yorkie on all most every week, and if I wanted to I could still do it now, because TSA does not look to see if a pet is on your ticket. I don't do it because it is not worth the hassle if I got stopped and I don't travel every week. I also don't see it as stealing because lap sitting kids fly free and with most airlines, carry ons are free. Airlines nickle and dime you to death now, can't even get a lousy bag of peanuts without having to use your credit card. |
I am fairly certain that it is illegal to sneak a pet on an airplane. My guess is that the person would have to not only pay for the pet, but also be fined...perhaps even charged with a federal offense. I don't know.... All I know is that $150 is not worth me making a fool of myself should I get caught. |

And I'm just curious to the person who said they could sneak a dog on board. Do you plan on sticking your dog under the baggage scanner? :rolleyes: |
WOW, fast forward from my last post on this thread over 2 yr ago…. (change of game) We actually flew not long after that post. Well when we made the reservations and told them we were traveling w/ our dog (NOW its 2), like always you to go to the counter to check in. I set the carrier on the ground and let them do their thing w/ our check –ins.. got our tickets and headed towards the gate. Like always, take Dud out of the carrier and let the bag go through..Boarded and took flight. I asked Dh what they charged him for Dud….He said that they didn't ask for payment and thought we paid when we made reservations. I told him they note it when i made reservations. We laughed after I told him ‘no”, that’s why we have to check in at the counter, LOL As we were getting off the plane and I was carrying the bag like I always do, in my arms in front of me, ( so the bag it’s being knocked all over the place) the flight attendants we goo-gooing and ga-gaing over the fact they had a cute puppy on board and wanted to pet him…. Well the flight back home, we experienced the same chain of events. AND since then I just think of (Dud and Dex) as my “one bag carry on”. We have probably taken 20 flights since, we are taking another one over Labor Day. I have never tried to “hide” them, sneak them on or anything. I think all the staff just consider them my carry on as we do. Yes, we pay for our check-in’s, we are allowed a carry on that fit under the seat, that’s exactly what they do. OP asked for tip: on one of those flights, we were relocated b/c we had the boys and you cannot sit in an emergency exit row w/ them. The middle seat is ‘typically” bigger for your “carry on”, and never sneak or hide your pets on board. |
As I said: Not worth it to me to be embarrassed. I don't think that IF they catch someone they will accept any excuses. |
lots of people really don't know there is a charge and depending on the airline the fee is $125.00 or $150.00 and that is just one way so it's really $250.00 to $300.00 to travel with your pet. Don't you think that is an excessive fee for what is really just carry on luggage. |

Look at it this way: Gas is much more than I like right now...but you won't catch me out siphoning gas. It is what it is. |
