Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

It’s the noise caused by the airbus power transfer unit (PTU), part of the hydraulics system. On arrival at the gate it sounds a bit like a barking dog. It can be heard through the cabin.
Yep, aware of that. Still not sure then if others are joking or actually think there’s barking dogs in the hold! 😂😳🤷‍♂️

As a person with a significant cat allergy, I’m not keen to have someone else’s cat, even in a container, under my seat. That would set me off coughing and wheezing for sure.

It won’t be! Pet seats will be indicated and you can make sure you are away from them.

That, plus HEPA filters hopefully means no impact.

Maybe, maybe not. I don’t even have to be that close to the cat to react. It’s enough that I would prefer an airline that did not accept cats in the cabin. And if any cat dander gets on the seat, I will react with hives. Cat dander blows around in the breeze, and is very persistent - it adheres to fabrics for a long time unless actively vacuumed up I.Not confident that cleaning standards will be enough for me.
