Resolved Question: Your thought please… A free flight for kitty?

Monday, December 22nd, 2008
I realize that this is a bit questionable to some who are reading this. I am going on a 1 1/2 hours in a couple of days with no plane changes. My kitty has taken this flight with me several times and he has always gotten his own ticket, even though he is treated like any other personal carry on. On these trips, a current Vet certificate is required and they charged a fee of 50.00 each way. Though I didn't want to, I had made arrangements with my good friend to watch over Bogart during the 2 weeks I am planning to be away for the holidays due to finances.. However, I just found out that her plans have changed and she will not be in town to help me with kitty. I am new to this area and have no one else to ask. A neighbor would be a normal consideration, but my only one seems not to like people to much and is the type that calls the police for any little neighborhood disturbance. I called the airlines to check on making arrangements for him and have learned that their ticket fee has gone from $50.00 to $100.00 EACH WAY! This is more than my ticket cost and I got a seat. There is no way pssible I can afford this fare for him. Mind you, it's not that I just dont want to pay for a ticket or that I would be going over my budget if I did get one.. I honestly do not have the money. We bought our tickets months ago. Now, my husband's employer is behind in paying him and has not been able to make the payroll for the last two pay checks due and before that only paid him 1/2 of a third one, so we are missing almost two months of pay. (I know, I know, but that is a different story.) So with no other options, I was considering smuggling kitty on board. He is an excelllent flyer and never makes a peep or get very nervous during trips. We are flying on Allegiant Airlines and we fly on them 2-3 times a year. They don't seem to be "on the look out" for stowaways when we travel. Anyhow, If you consider all the $4.00 Cokes and $3.00 bags of pretzels we have bought from their mile high snack bar, as well as the fact that the kitty & carrier would be a good bit smaller and lighter than the carry on I would take in his place, it doesn't seem to bad ethically. Of course my other BIG concern is if I can get away with it. Does anyone else reading this have any experience, insight or suggestions. I was a Flight Attendant with American in the 1990's and back then they didn't gave us any instruction on a smuggled pet procedure. Any thoughts, insight or experience is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! (legitimate only please) Hang in there everyone... The economy has to get better. Happy Holidays! Annie
