Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

[TheRealTMA]

I'd imagine the same as what happens as a passenger breaking any other rules on a plane. They'd get a talking to. If they don't comply they'd be forced and met by police on landing. It's not really rocket science.

BUT! But you are talking here about pet owners who are often, how shall I say, insensitive, to others around them.

pet owners who are often, how shall I say, insensitive, to others around them.

Still, better than screaming children and nonchalant parents. Pets dont scream.

"Better" is an interesting description.

Pets dont scream.

They might not scream, but getting meowed/barked at incessantly would be just as annoying.
(PS - I'm on the pet-friendly side here...)

When I go to markets, pubs, cafes on weekends, I see most pets and their owners behaving well, as in I rarely see any who misbehave.

Also having lived with cats and dogs, I'm still amazed at how good they are at holding. They would hold until they see their 'toilets', even if you tell them that it's OK to wee or poo.

On the other hand, when I get home on a Friday or Saturday night, which involves full 60 mins on the M2 motorway, people on the bus:
- vomit on the bus
- ask bus driver to stop at the former toll plaza to pee
- vape
- singing
- talking loud
- open drinks (as in alcohol)

I feel more comfortable flying with pets, I have more fear from flying JQ to Bali, or seeing babies and children on a plane.
