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.
An American Airlines first class passenger took to social media to brag on his dog’s first flight. Sure, he says, the pet “took a poop in the parking garage” but once firmly ensconced on the floor of the carrier’s first class cabin, he knew it was going to be a great flight.
A passenger reviewing the Delta One Lounge at New York JFK shared her experience on the ground, and up in the air, as much from the perspective of her pooch as from a passenger. Her dog loved the new business class-only space, including the food, showing the pet dining and eating various courses from the table.
A dog roamed around the cabin on Tuesday evening’s American Airlines flight 2308 from Raleigh to Los Angeles. It must have been uncomfortable because it needed to do its business, so the passenger who owned it let it out – until it decided to relieve itself in the aisle.
A New York City-based family filmed the start of their vacation flight, departing Newark on United Airlines. They brought their Yorkshire Terriers alone, buying each of the two dogs a seat in business class. The dogs, Amy and Emily, are “task-trained service animals” according to their owner. Do you believe them?
Another United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 was forced to divert. But this time it wasn’t a mechanical issue, and it wasn’t even a passenger. It was because a dog pooped in the aisle in front of first class, outside the lavatory.
The Houston to Seattle flight quickly made its way onto the ground at Dallas – Fort Worth on Friday rather than forcing passengers and crew to endure the mess and smell for the duration fo the flight.
A Delta Air Lines passenger flying from Atlanta to Houston this week found themselves sitting in coach besides not one but two support dogs.
Two separate passengers seated beside each other in the same row, in the window and aisle seats, brought on support animals. These were two dogs that did not know each other prior to the flight.
If a seating arrangement is so untenable that a customer downgrades inflight, it does seem reasonable that the difference in fare should be refunded. The discomfort was because of the dog and their owner, but it’s an arrangement that’s still the responsibility of the airline, and the passengers who moved certainly didn’t get the product or experience that they paid for.
One dog has the famous US Airways first class pig beat by a long shot. You can see that it is traveling in a fully flat business class seat of its own – all tucked in.
Readers may correct me, but this looks like a LATAM cabin, so a South America flight.
A dog flew Singapore Airlines business class from Sydney to Europe via Singapore. The ex-racing greyhound Lewis “is a graduate of Melbourne-based Greyt Greys Rescue” and his owner moved to Italy. She got permission from the Australian government to leave. And since so few others do, her Singapore Airlines flights were almost empty.
