I just flew with my little dachshund roundtrip all the way from Seattle to Baltimore. It was an all day flight and my 4 month old pup did just fine! He didn't make a peep. Most people were so nice often asking how my dog was when passing by to use the bathroom or what not. I gave the dog benedryl prior to the flight as the vet suggested and he slept. Imagine this, no one had an inflight allergy attack and most people didn't even know he was on board unless they'd seen me sitting in the boarding area with him. He remained in his crate during the flights. My husband is in the military and I live 3000 miles away from my family. We make many sacrifices being apart from family and I was so happy I was able to bring my pup home while he is still a puppy and show him to my family, while still flying my favorite airline.
You people who have so rudely complained saying that even an epi pen doesn't help- well you shouldn't even leave your house, much less fly if its that bad- pet dander is everywhere... get a life!
Thanks Southwest 🙂

I ❤️ NYC 🙂 This is great news!! Gosh just checked out flights from BWI to LGA... Totally short and reasonable price too! This will make it much easier to get to NYC even for just a weekend. You are the best!!!
Because you are the best though, I wish you flew into one of my other favorite places- South Carolina. I noticed you guys don't fly anywhere into SC or GA. Do you for see an opportunity to get into any airports down there such as Charleston? US Airways seems to dominate there, and I have had one too many bad experiences on them to ever use them again. I know a lot of people who wish you guys could get a hub in the area.

People, please stop being so dramatic. I am an animal lover, also I have a severe allergy to cats. I plan on flying with my little dog on my next flight. Now if someone is allergic to dogs, I'd be happy to move to the back of the plane for example. Also if I am on a flight and I am near a cat, I would ask that we be separated. No need to be rude or make a scene. I'll be bringing my benedryl just in case there are cats on board. I don't go anywhere without it. Honestly if you are that allergic to something then YOU are an idiot for not carrying benedryl or an epi pen. SW is not a bunch of idiots for allowing pets. Why should THEY be responsible to have pet free flights and lose money, when all the other airlines do so. I hope that all those people who are going to stop flying Southwest enjoy those airlines consistently being delayed and losing bags. And from experience, enjoy those flight attendants being so "friendly" (uhh rude). And please also enjoy paying to pack your bags. And lastly, enjoy those planes that could have a dog or cat on board because they all allow pets 🙂 And to think you'll pay more for your ticket, pay to check your bags, have them lose your bag probably and do nothing (uh US Airways), and you'll still stop breathing mid air because you are THAT allergic to animals and are stupid enough to not bring your meds. Seriously people get a life. I will enjoy a flight without complainers such as yourselves if you choose to fly elsewhere.
