We had dogs the whole time I was growing up, and for the past few years we've had cats...and it never occurred to me that we were supposed to take them on vacation with us. Did I miss this in the owner's manual?

shoot, i was on JFK-LAX in b/e on 9/6 and figured it was my best chance ever to sit next to a celeb. missed it by one day ! (assuming i had the right time anyway).
this pet needing to be under a seat thing is a strange policy since the FAs allow all sorts of bags to be placed behind the seat in front of you in b/e.

i'm flying BZN-MSP-BOS at the end of the month with 2 lab puppies; it will be their first and last plane trip. I'm flying with someone so we will each have one in their own carrier under the seat in front of us. Should be interesting, to say the least. I apologize in advance to anyone who sits near me.

Few months ago at SEA I watched a cat go through the scanner.
I thought the woman in front of me was just laying a largish carry-on on the belt. I didn't realize what was happening until Mr. Kitty poked his head up to the air vent in the bag just before he got irradiated. I made a grab for him but it was too late.
No real harm done. Slightly higher risk of cancer to Mr. Kitty and an embarrassing lecture from TSA to the owner. I got to see the X-ray on the monitor which was kinda cool.
Other than that I can't say I've ever seen a pet owner being less-than-intelligent on a flight.
OPos.

Amen. I missed my dogs terribly when I travelled without them. They're gone now but I would never ever have even thought about bringing them on a plane with me.
