Hello,

I was on a flight with a few small cats. The owners were saying that they had to pay $80 per pet (one family had 2) and even getting boarding passes.

The international airline I used to work for had strict rules on that to ensure there are no more than 1 pet per cabin/zone, etc.

I wonder:

1 - for an LCC like HP, do they go out of their way to track cabin pets or the $80 is just a revenue enhancer
2 - what happens if someone hides a pet in a carry-on? With some of these small pet bags, I can't imagine that the gate agents would notice it all the time.

Thanks.
