An American Airlines first-class passenger recently shared his experience on social media about his dog's first flight. Despite the pet relieving itself in the airport parking garage, the owner expressed confidence that the journey would be pleasant once they were settled in the first-class cabin.
The dog, based on its size and absence of a carrier under the seat, was traveling as a service animal under a disability accommodation.
"Today is Melo’s first airplane ride to go meet his puppy cousin and his human cousin for the first time. Took a [poop] in the parking garage but gonna be a 10/10 doggo for the flight, right? @AmericanAir," tweeted Nick Mayhugh on September 11, 2024.
