Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

[SYD]

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!

Just to get into the modern day offended by everything vibe. I feel offended that my ratty, crazy cattle dog is not allowed to sit with me on the plane. This is discriminatory towards red cattle dogs

And discriminatory towards our old Labrador and our sons greyhound

What seats/section? I’m fascinated!

I can't recall the journey(s), but it would have been in Biz... Definitely not the PTU (nothing like it). Never forgotten it.

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.

I was on a flight in the US were a PAX with an extreme nut allergy was flying, so no hot nuts in First!

Demand the cats, dogs and ponies be checked!

Can’t say I’ve ever heard or thought of them now that you’ve mention it!

My ex partners mother used to take the family dog on trips CBR-SYD-OOL. The barking was insane, particularly when waiting to reclaim at OOL. Deeply embarrassing.
