Didn't mean to start a fight or flame war among my fellow FTers.

The flight from BWI to DEN was very full. The GA could not offer us two seats together in Y and only had middle seats avail. We wanted to seat together.

I do have stronger allergy meds. The problem is the knock me out and I feel groggy for the next day or so, depending on how many I take.


Yes, we should have allowed more time to make it too our cruise. Unfortunately, not everyone gets unlimited vacation days at work, and we have to take them carefully in this economy. Our cruise was a 3 dayer to Baja, Mexico as part of our high school reunion. So rescheduling the cruise really was not an option.

Maybe 60lbs was overstating it a little bit. It was a border collie and was significantly bigger than the teacups, toy, Paris Hilton type pups that most passengers bring on board.

My point in posting was trying to get advise on how to get my miles refunded. I would not have upgraded if I knew we would be sitting behind a dog. I did not realize United's policy on this. I did not think to call UA before the flight to inquire about dogs on the plane, because frankly, this is the first time I have encountered any type of service animal in F.

Thanks for all your replys. I will post a follow-up if I hear anything from UA.
