Well, I'm glad about the pet policy. Maybe the extra cost is also to ensure that flight attendants can give some of their time to ensure carrier policies are followed? And I'm sure they'll also start carrying benadryl or something for people who find out on the plane that they're allergic. As someone with a horrible cat allergy, I still think it's a good change. And to whoever said carrying the pets in the belly of the plane, maybe you should check the news cuz pets die in the belly all the time, it doesn't receive the same air, it freezes, etc. And the SW policy before was that if no one has an issue with the animal flying it could, so if you've seen pets on there before, that's why. On top of that, if you're some fool with mild allergies, the plane is not forever tainted just because a dog was in a carrier. And I for one, will be flying a lot more on SW as a result, and will be glad to not have people who are so freakin nutty anti-pet folk as some of the people on here seem to be.
