Has anyone ever had a problem, specifically on NW, taking their pet out of their carrier during their flight? On our last flight my little boy, for some reason unknown to me, got very nervous and started to whine. Rather than incur the wrath of the flight attendents I kept him in his kennel and tried to calm him down. I had set the carrier between my husband and myself - we were in first class so there was plenty of room - and almost immediately the attendent came by and told me to return the kennel to the floor. I did so, he continued to whine and we were both miserable. Has anyone else had any experience with this? I assumed that since I had paid the pet fee and the kennel was counted as a carry one I could remove it from under the seat as you can with any other carry on and stow it only during take off and landing.
