Your Pit Bull will fit nicely under the seat in front of you.

At last!

Something to drown out that screaming infant in 11C.

Too bad. Big newfie baby here would take up three seats.

Just wait until somebody dies on a doggy flight because of an allergic reaction...

I brought a Jack Russel puppy from Seattle to Houston years ago in an under seat carrier. When the plane took off the puppy got scared and started to shriek. I took him out of his carrier and put him inside my shirt and he quieted right down and rode there the entire 4 hours of the flight.

You’ve always been able to travel with pets in the cabin on US carriers as long as the crate will fit under the seat. I haven’t heard of anyone dying, or even complaining, yet.

$50? That’s cheap!

American charges $100 (Delta charges $150) for one-way under-the-seat pet bookings.

How long until the pooch under the seat in front of you gets explosive diarrhea?

(If you saw my poker hands this weekend you would understand why I just know it’ll happen to me...)

It is crappy enough to fly now without someone actually bringing a pet onto the sardine cans they call airliners. I remember when you could be comfortable while flying without buying first class.

Sometime within the last two years, a passenger across the aisle from me on a regional jet had two cats in a cat carrier. She had apparently purchased a seat for the kitty-box, and strapped it in said seat. I don’t recall the airline (probably either United or Air Canada) or whether the flight was within USA or Canada ...

Whether y'all know it or not, US carriers have permitted pets as hand luggage for years. I see it all the time. People have mesh sided duffels that contain their rats small dogs or cats. I've smelled them and heard them bark on flights.

See #17. Delta, Northwest, United and American permit pets as hand luggage within the US. I never fly US Air, but I expect they do too.
