They bypassed the $125 fee and were definitely DYKWIA types sitting way back in Y.
What is the $125 fee really for?
Well the purchaser of the pet is paying the pet fee

But I agree that is absurd for a pet fee. I can understand having a small charge but not that much. It's unbelieveable the kind of non refundable fees for pets some hotels charge. I understand if the pet does damage or has an accident and has to clean the carpet but drunk adults can do a lot more damage than a trained pet.
