Interesting special request option on Mongolian Airlines

[Mattg]

I haven't seen this before...

Was just booking a flight with MIAT (Mongolian Airlines) and they give you the option to add a special request to carry a carpet onto your flight.

It depends how rugged you are.

Hvr, must you pile it on ??

In case anyone is wondering, dogs and cats are not eaten in Mongolia

Tread carefully

So a Flying carpet !

But being serious prayer mats are important in some cultures.

According to MIAT's website:

Carpet:
1. No more than 40kg.
2. Must be folded in square and total of each length is no more than 203cm.
3. Only one prepaid pet allowed per passenger. It is subject to reservation availability.

For point #3 I assume they mean carpet, not pet.

The cost to add a carpet to a ICN-UBN booking is around AUD120.

Dog fights are advertised publicly on large bilboards though.

If I understand correctly, the traditional dietary belief was that people shouldn’t eat vegetables as they are thought to be bad for your health/cause cancer

Isn’t MIAT planning to become OW connect?

According to ET based on one comment from a MIAT executive, who says they'd like to be in OW at some stage. Don't really think that one has many legs.

Interestingly though, MIAT also allowed you to input a FF number from pretty much every SkyTeam airline, but not any of it's codeshare partners such as JL or CX.

Interested in your experience if you do see a carpet or pet on your flight

This would send the old ducks at Red Roo into an apoplectic fit.......

I’m sure there would be wall to wall objections and anyone suggesting it would get carpeted.

Probably best just to do a runner.
