Dogs on planes (in the cabin)

Lots of people?

In my 30 years of flying to various destinations I have never been on a plane where a dog has been on it.....nor have I seen any at an airport (except police/customs dogs).

Lots of airlines allow small dogs and cats in the cabin, just not into the UK, only out.

And like I said I have seen zero dogs on a plane or in an airport.

And chucky.....glad to see you deleted your 'whatever' comment. It was poor banter.

Surely that must tell you something.
Ryanair passenger numbers have increased every year since 2011 and if they can manage this without the need to allow pets in the cabin then surely there can't be that much of a demand.

Ryanair are not exactly slow about making changes if they consider they will make more money from those changes so if they felt that allowing pets into the cabins of their aircraft made financial sense they why haven't they done it by now?

Same here.
I do at least 10 return trips through London Gatwick each year (so a minimum of 20 times in the airport) and apart from assistance, Police and border control dogs. I don't recall ever seeing any other canine.

I don't fly that often and I've seen a few, so what?

Yes it tells me they considered that on balance it might not be worth doing, and the fact that they considered it in the first place, that there would be a demand for it. But that doesn't mean that I don't wish that they would, plenty other airlines do allow dogs.

I wish they would ban babies on flights......not going to happen though is it.

No it isn't, but you are entitled to your wishful thinking, even though it would be unlikely, but why am I not entitled to my wishful thinking?

The so what is, you said, lots of people take dogs on planes, it’s clearly not the case.

Do you often end a line with, so what, when you are talking to people
