[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]United has gone out of its way to make itself more accommodating of people who want to travel with their pets than pretty much any other airline. You have to wonder if incidents like this will make them rethink their policies on this and make them more restrictive.[/quote]

My husband receives many points on United due to business travel.  So, we are stuck using them for personal.
I can’t imagine how aweful and traumatized for life that poor family is.  Not to mention the others who were on that plane. I do know people consider their animals part of the family.

I find it rare to experience a flight attendant who is having a good day. I like to politely ask a rude flight attendant their name and write it down in front of them.  You could also ask them to remind you of the flight number. The thought that someone would put in a complaint about them gets their attention.  
As a side, I am highly allergic to dogs and cats and traveling can be torture for me (there are NO hyperallergnic dogs or cats). I have NO rights and, on a good day they will let me move from my seat in the front of the plane to the back.  Yea, that’s more than annoying.
I think pets traveling on planes has gone too far.  As mentioned, owners are responsible and the reality is they give up their rights when they board a plane.  All things considered, I don’t think it’s right or safe to bring your beloved pet on a plane. Wouldn’t it be better, for everyone, if you had a friend or a professional take care of your pet while you travel?  This excludes REAL service dogs.  [/quote]
