I’m in need of a little advice. My daughter is moving from Boston to San Francisco this summer and needs to fly with her two cats. I have already booked three seats: for her, me, xtra seat and the two cats on a non-stop flight on a 757-200. I did this by phone and the helpful agent got us window, middle and aisle in E+. All three seats and the cats are ticketed.

I just found that United said pets need to be booked on window seats on the 757-200 because of underseat space. Does anyone know if the two cat carriers can fit under the three seats together, or do I now need to drag her father along to get a window seat on the same flight?

I already looked to see if a 737 flies that route non-stop but apparently not anymore, or at least not on the date we need.

It’s a long flight and I’m trying to minimize stress on the cats as well as minimize annoying other passengers, so I’m really hoping we can fit both cats under the row of three.

I’m afraid if I call and ask, all the agent will do is look it up and say “nope – I’ll scatter your seats all over the plane…..”

Thanks in advance for your comments.
