Airlines reduce in cabin pet fees!
Posted by George Hobica on Tuesday, August 18, 2009
No doubt in response to pet owner outrage who ended up paying more for their pets than their own fares, United reduced its in cabin pet fee from $175 to $125 each way (still a lot); and Delta reduced from $150 to $100, now in line with most other airlines. See our updated fee chart.

i am a frequent flier, and have traveled with my puppy who was naturally better behaved than any children on board, and better than some adults too!
she is older now, and we are going to fly again. i give her a sedative before we board so that she is quiet, and i carry pee pads with me to the restrooms before hand so i know she won't make any messes.
i also have asthma from allergies, and let me tell you, pet dander from someone's sweater is most likely to cause a reaction. but it is true that you will run into allergens everywhere, and that is a risk, as an asthmatic you must take. pets are a life form and integral part of our lives, and cannot be compared to cigarette addiction. if you have life threatening allergies, i highly suggest you wear a surgical mask while in confined public places, because you may have an attack regardless of whether there are any pets on board.
i wear a mask sometimes, it is not so bad.
but for now, please try to understand that pets are rarely very dirty, and if your own pets are dirty, perhaps you do not take good care of them.
First CA then don't fly on planes with dogs. simple find one without a dog on the plane. Seems to me your more sick than a dog who happens to be fully health certified, and if you had to do the same you would fail due to your m/edical conditon as well as your family. Oh you can't go by train either and you cannot go by ship either because they have animals too. Oh by the way so do hotels and motels. Ahhhh, best you sit home and tend to kleenex and your sniffles. ah you cannot make any money yourself except to sue companies or people. It is individuals like you who make it hard on everybody because we have to pay more due to your lousey stinking mind of lawsuits.
ChrisO, get a life will you. if you cannot handle a dog or a cat then shut up and find a log cabin and deal with the Bears and racoons and the moose who might find you worthy to have as a mate.
I would rather have a dog on the plane or a cat than have to be dealing with crying babies yapping the entire flight disturbing my peace since babies and kids are loaded with every disease you can think of and we get sick from them, and they pester us with their stupid uncontrollable antics that I wish I could slap their faces but cannot do it because of laws that guarantee their obnoxious behavior.
So lets ban kids and babies from the planes and double or triple their fees and bring on the dogs and cats with lower fees and we all can have fun. Woof woof, and meow meow to both of you.
