I'd rather leave pets at home where they are comfortable and have my pet sitter come in but sometimes you don't have a choice but to travel with a pet.

What really ticks me off about that fee though is the pet is considered a carryon. The carrier is going under your seat not in the bin! Fortunately I have never had an issue with a GA or FA telling me I couldn't bring my rollerbag on board when travelling with my cat. When I travel with a cat I don't have my backpack so the only thing going in the bin is the rollerbag and cat goes in the seat in front of me like my backpack would.
