Two cats apparently flew to Japan on United Airlines and, according to their owner, handled the longhaul journey well. That is nice, I suppose, but every time I see animals in an aircraft cabin, I have the same reaction: why are we doing this?
Good for the cats, I guess. Congrats to anyone seated nearby who did not have allergies, did not hear meowing for hours, and did not have to deal with a litter box issue at 35,000 feet…
But I remain deeply skeptical of animals in aircraft cabins, especially on longhaul flights.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
