A Delta Air Lines passenger flying from New York JFK shared what happened when they received a last minute upgrade from extra legroom coach up to business class. A flight attendant came up to them and brought them to their new seat – and their neighbor up front was a “very well behaved” dog.

My main reaction here is how those Delta Boeing 767 business class seats lag the competition – they’re truly ‘for the dogs’.
By the way here’s a dog recently eating at a table in the new Delta One lounge at New York JFK before flying business class.

And this doesn’t just work on Delta. Passengers are buying the dogs their own seats on United, too.
And it can work on foreign airlines across the Atlantic, not just U.S. ones. (Readers can correct me, but this looks like LATAM to me.)
In fall of 2000, a 300 pound pig flew first class on US Airways. At the end of the flight the pig “ran squealing through the Boeing 757 on landing, soiling the cabin. If you do this make sure to keep your pet under control, please.
In most cultures, dogs are seen as unclean, evil and unlawful to be surrounded by in an inclosed environment. I would encourage airlines to be more inclusive and respectful of our cultures.
I think it is wonderful do you have a problem with it.
I think it is wonderful do you have a problem with it.Dogs are sometimes nicer than people. They act better too. Why is everyone so concerned the seats are being paid for so what is the problem. Don’t be so nosey.butt out..thank you
M. Hemdi – I am glad that these dogs are flying on a US carrier within the United States and are not subject to whatever prejudice that your culture may have against them. Leave the dogs are alone. Many of us in this country would prefer to be in the company of pets than narrow-minded people.
The passenger is paying for the seat. Those of us who love our dogs should be able to transport them on a common carrier if we are paying for that option.
