so, not only are airlines raising prices for you to bring luggage on a plane. they are raising prices for pet travel as well. when we got baxter 3 years ago it was $50 each way for your pet to ride in cabin with you UNDER the seat in front of you. he is not taking up more space than a carry on bag, mind you. the flight attendant does not bring him water. he does not get little aviator wings from the pilot or get to see the cockpit. he doesn't use a pillow and blanket nor does he ever visit the bathroom on the plane. and i thought $50 each way was a total crime. but i paid it as it was cheaper than boarding, i didn't have to bother my friends to take care of him - and frankly, i like bringing him along.
well, they've raised the prices for a dog to sit under the seat in front of you to $175. each way. so, if you total that insane sum of money, that is more than MY ticket cost. so, to United Airlines, I have 2 things to say:
1) so NOT cool.
2) i better get some aviator wings.
so now i am bothering my san diego friends to watch my pup again. good thing he's a loveable little ball of goodness.
