Airline Ticket Fares
Pets will now have the “Freedom to Fly” on Southwest Airlines. Southwest will soon allow Customers to bring along small cats and dogs in the aircraft cabin for a special low “pet fare” of each way. All pets must be in a carrier that fits under the airplane seat, and the carrier will count as the Customer’s carryon bag. Customers can begin purchasing tickets for their small cats and dogs on June 1, 2009, for travel beginning June 17, 2009. For more information and a video on Southwest’s …

I <3 this
Totally going to fly SW with my dogs

Oh, and I have sat next to tons of humans that apparently don’t bathe and smell a lot worse than an animal ever would. so HA!

For all the people saying that it’s going to smell bad on the flight due to animals, you are crazy! Most people that take their pets on flight with them, take very good care of their animals and would certainly bathe them if they smell. Also, animals are very clean and do not like to soil where they are sleeping. they OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t have room or be comfortable enough to poop. My pet peed a little on the flight, bit I quickly changed it’s pad and put in a new one and he was still just a puppy

rarely do you even get someone traveling with pets, it wouldn’t matter.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
This is great. Thanks for a really terrific video explanation of policies!
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
that would be only good if you can take them out
my baby would be terrified.
idk how i will fly from east coast to west coast when i move.

Almost every other airline, including the major legacy ones like American and Delta, allow pets, so why complain about Southwest’s policy?
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
I would rather smell animal urine for a couple of hours than the orde of the passenger I had to sit next to out of BNA last week…
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
TERRIBLE IDEA. I do NOT want to be sitting next to, behind of, or infront of, or ANYWHERE CLOSE To someone carrying a stinky dog or cat. what if we have allergies? what if the animal urinates or poops? what if it wont stop barking/meowing?
HOW THE HELL DID YOU NOT THINK THIS OVER?
you’re trying too hard swa.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
what they should do is have a separated compartment for people who want to fly with their pets
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
someone didnt think this new plan through…
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
This is AWESOME news! Certainly better than having to drive 8 plus hours from San Diego to Sacramento or vice-versa in a family emergency….because there are no direct flights that take a small animal! Thank you Southwest Airlines!!!!
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
I 100% agree. I doubt if Southwest passengers will like this program. It will be smelling like a dig store on southwest now. Thats just the LUV of Southwest airlines.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
If there’s an emergency on board, the passengers will be tripping over dogs and cats trying to get to the exit. Good luck to anyone who has allergies as well. I think southwest would have sold more tickets if they had simply given people free donuts as opposed to turning an airplane into a flying zoo.

God know how many little dogs will be pissing themselves at takeoff.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
The same goes for babies. Please store them under your seat and do not remove them to cuddle. If your baby/pet makes excessive noise please bring tranquilizers to calm them. In the event of a water landing you may use your baby or pet as a flotation device. After 8 hours of listening to your dog whine or your baby cry, other passengers may gang up and assist you in silencing your carry on. Thank you and have a pleasant flight.

o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc…)
o Israel spies on this country (eg. Pollard, Kadish, AIPAC, etc…)
o Israel bought our politicians with our taxes.
o Israel steals our taxes, hence their higher income.
o Israel uses our country as their toilet.
