Alaska Airlines staff refuse to let her fly after she shows up with two big cats in a single underseat carrier and insists she has “done this for years.” She escalates into a “you are ruining Christmas” rant, demands to be shown the policy “where I booked,” and argues there’s no restriction—while the agents tell her the cats don’t have enough room and she’d need separate carriers (and effectively, another underseat space).
A mischievous cat broke free from its carrier on a Delta red-eye from Las Vegas to Atlanta and headed straight for first class. Flight attendants eventually scooped up the feline “upgrade,” but not before it gave coach passengers a withering side-eye that screamed, “Enjoy your pretzels, peasants.”
A Southwest Airlines passenger’s 7-month-old kitten had a potty accident after getting scared during a rough landing. She cleaned up the mess, but the crew on the continuing flight segment closed the lavatory due to the smell, confronted her, and removed them from their next flight on the same aircraft.
The kittens started off the flight in their crate. But an hour into the flight, one of them “got scared.” So they let her out and gave her lots of love.
Then they fed her. Eventually the kittens fell asleep. But the passengers decided to bring out them out to play halfway through the flight because they “low key missed them.” Seven hours into the flight was “a big bathroom break.” OMG they went potty into a tupperware.
Last month a passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from Syracuse to Atlanta was breastfeeding a cat. This actually happened. In real life. A flight attendant on board even dished on the whole thing.
Tarco Aviation flight 3T-234 from Khartoum, Sudan to Doha was forced to turn back around half an hour into its flight on Wednesday after “a cat attacked the pilot.”
ABC Denver reported Jeffrey Cook reported on three missing cats loose on board a transatlantic flight for over an hour. We know what everyone was thinking, of course: at least it wasn’t snakes on that plane!
As hotels look to cut costs, some cut back on daily housekeeping while others eschew room service carts and trays for brown paper sacks.
It turns out though that room service for dogs and cats is on the upswing.
