To all those who have pet allergies, how do you know that the people sitting beside you on a flight, have not just petted and held their cat or dog, prior to boarding the plane, as I do. If you are so highly allergic to a cat or dog, just being in close proximity to one of these people with animal dander on their clothing, would set your allergy in motion. This is a medical fact, as my allergist explained it to me. Therefor you should always take your allergy medicine before traveling, and have your inhaler accessible in pocket or purse at all times. We actually had an issue with a flight attendant who went ballistic over my husband's emotional support cat, staying if she so much as tougher my husband's credit card for food payment, she would have to go and give herself an injection!! That was on Alaska Airlines, which we fly mostly, because of their great animal travel policy. Someone who is that allergic, should not be working in that capacity where they come in contact with pet owners all the time. Sometimes it that kind of situation, it is not allergy related at all, just someone who does not like cats and dogs.
