but in the case of the person with the allergy - simply reseating doesn't necessarily work - two rows a way I felt it - they should disclose the information and then those like me with allergies should be allowed to change to a different flight without penalty.</font>
Because of the way the air just circulates in an airplane, it really doesn't matter that much where you are seated in relationship to the cat/dog.
Again, I ask: is it within a passenger's rights to request that the pet/owner be removed from the flight?
