I had a terrible experience with Air-Tran ..my 5 lb yorkie and I were flying from florida to ohio and after boarding the plane they did not turn on any air conditioning until we were in the air..it was extremely hot even the passangers were pealing off any clothes that were optional.. It was at least 45 min. in an extremely hot plane with her tucked under the tiny under seat area..I just unzipped the front of her carrier(did not take her out)but was checking on her because she was panting so bad..all of the passangers were so sweet and concerned. then this very young stewardes came by and in a very snotty tone said "you can not open that carrier and keep it totally under the seat" I totd her i was just checking on her because she seemed to be getting totally exhausted she said well I am allergic to animals! As soon as the first class stewardess was through with her duties that only too about 15 minutes she walked back thru the cabin carrying a little cup with Kati's name on it..full of cool fresh water..she came back 2 more times with more water for kati and appoligized and said "I am so sorry,some people just don,t know when to do the right thing and bend the rules..I will never fly air-tran again..beware..they are concerving on air conditioning i guess! |
breaking news.....!!!!! I read this today!!! :D "Starting with flights on June 17, Southwest will let small dogs and cats onboard — now only service animals are allowed — for $75 each way" I fly Southwest all of the time and am so glad they are going to take small dogs. Now Gunnar is a bigger Yorkie, like 8-9 pounds, but I'm sure he will qualify! I do a lot weekend trips to see my dad, so this is great news!!!! Prayers answered! Donna |
Great information, thank you! |
I have been flying with Monty since he was 4 mo. old. he is now 5yrs.old. He has no problem traveling on the plane. He is quiet and I have no problem with him. I travel from Cleveland, Ohio to Dallas, Texas atleast 3 times a year. I only fly on American Airlines, I find that they have more room under the seat, and he is comfortable or atleast as comfortable as he can be under the seat and I find I have leg room. My problem is why do they charge $100. for something that is put under your seat, and causes no problems? You have to pay enough for your ticket. He seems to know when he is going on a trip, when ever I get my suitcase out he know he is flying and jumps in his carrier. |
