(Bring masks and inhalers, show them, and ask NICELY to have your seat moved.
Gain an advocate in a staff member!)
Allergic to cats or dogs ? Bring your meds, also.
A professor?
Seems the last guy screamed he was a doctor...i can se it now... "But, I'm a government official that was forced to take a commercial flight, What are you doing?!"
I wouldn't be surprised. I've had to relocate because of over scented people. This was on the train and it was a two day trip so allergy meds and sleeping through it wouldn't do (they knock me out in excess). But I just ask for a different seat, and it was no problem. If there was none, then I'd expect the airline to fix it. Can't dump someone off the train in the middle of nowhere....
Land travel with pets is very common and its not hard at all to find a place which takes them. There's no special procedures. There's no uprising about a hotel taking you and your cat. I've never seen a sign at regrestration saying 'warning we take pets'. If you plan a trip, plan everything. This means if you have cat or dog problems, ask before and make sure its noted and get there early to be sure its been noted. Its not really different than having a couple of kids who require carseats for the ride, and parents need to be near. They shouldn't be mad if the first time the brought it up was when they arrived.
I don't get it. If I had allergies like that, I'd have an industrial HEPA breathing mask for travel.
I've been on Southwest flights a number of times when the flight attendant announced on the PA that there would be no peanuts because somebody was allergic. Kind of the same thing with peanuts. If you're allergic, a surgical mask fixes the problem.
Off topic a little, but I was recently on a flight back from Europe and they announced a passenger had a severe peanut allergy and asked everyone not to eat nuts on the plane. They made the announcement once, while people were still boarding. DH and I frequently bring nuts on long flights for an easy snack, but luckily, we heard it so we didn't open them. Half-way through the flight we smelled someone around us was eating peanuts. Nothing happened but it really made me wonder how someone can travel with a severe allergy like that - I would be scared about something happening over the ocean - especially, like I said, they only made the announcement once when about half of the passengers were on board.
A lawyer for a woman seen on video being dragged off a Southwest Airlines flight in Maryland said Wednesday she never claimed her allergy to dogs was life-threatening and that her eviction from the aircraft was motivated by anti-Muslim bias.
Forty-six-year-old Anila Daulatzai's lawyer says she agreed with crew members that she'd be fine with the dogs on the cross-country flight as long as they sat far apart.
But she says other Southwest employees told her to leave the plane.
The airline says that it required Daulatzai to produce a medical certificate, without which it could deny her the right to stay on board.
Maybe airline workers need to wear body cams now to show all the things they have to deal with!
