Would you sit next to a person with a falcon

[clazman]

Lufthansa airlines allows falcons as carry on

So do the Middle Eastern airlines I believe... I'd probably do it as they are well trained, you just need to be sensible and not stick your fingers in it's beak!

If they are hooded and tied securely to the pax who has a falconry glove on - by all means.

I would prefer a falcon over a special snowflake dog owner with fake "service dog" credentials.

Don't get me wrong, I like dogs but some of the "service dog" shenanigans is getting too much.

What about an emotional support pig?

IIRC from previous discussion about falcons on middle eastern airlines, they are only allowed on flight to/from pakistan and the falcon has to have a business class seat.

The short answer is no.

And here's me thinking " how do you know what car they drive"?

Prefer someone with a camry (better manners). Boom boom.

I suppose an albatross would be out of the question?

Albatross!

The article doesn't say if food would be provided for their falcons. :mrgreen:

Because you're in a Holden pattern?

 

[boomy]

Why not? I payed to hold a falcon in Thailand once, beautiful bird.

 

[Barks]

Yep. I'd rather sit next to a falcon than some screaming kid!

But they'd also do everything at the speed of a slow dawdle

Does the falcon earn SCs I wonder?

You would think so wouldn't you .... after all it is a very regular frequent flyer.

Emirates have a falcon policy, it is only for flights to/from Pakistan and economy class can have 1, first can have 2. I forget the allowance for business class.

If an extra seat was required I'd think so, but depends how the extra seat is booked and the policy.

What would they watch on IFE "birds of the feather"?
