The seats are free.

You can just take them.

What is the charge?

I was moving and had 2 ferrets in a soft cat carrier. No shit the female (wicked smart) escaped mid flight. We almost had to emergency land because of it. Thankfully she popped up 10 rows in front of my seat and was safely recovered.

Way before 9/11 flying was so much more relaxed.

Know your worth.

I like the laughter on the first-class lady's face. Also I think I might be willing to pay for first class if it came with a beautiful floofy cat like that.
