(Year of the Snakes) on a Plane?

I got a promo email from Cathay offering me a (plush) snake (toy) if I booked a flight online originating in the U.S.

http://us.cathaypacific.com/offers/Y...subdefault.asp

I know it's the Year of the Snake and Cathay's plush toy is really cute, but really. Hasn't anyone in the Marketing Department seen, or heard of, Snakes on a Plane?

I wonder if one's Cathay Snake will be a permitted carry-on item?

I must admit, I want one. But we already booked our Cathay flight for later this year, so no snake for me.

They offered this during Chinese New Year last year too.

And it must be booked on cx.com / USA or Canada. Don't think it works for HK's website.

LOL ... yes, it will be permitted as a carry-on item. I got one (dragon) last year and planning to get one (snake) next week. You can buy it for $11 in the months around CNY.

Year of the Dragon

They've been out for a month now, my kids love them.

There is only one or two per flight, so ask early if you want one.

Really? I'll be sure to ask the FAs once we get onboard.
