I have had it with these darned animals on these darned planes

If I sit down Fake Louis Vuitton Replica Bags beside you on an airplane and start sneezing, please don't worry about germs. Airplanes always make me sneeze.

I doubt I am alone. Since planes have filled with cats, dogs, rabbits and birds, I suspect a lot of Alaskans start their travels with pockets stuffed with tissues.

People with serious, potentially life threatening allergies have a much bigger problem, both with animals and with peanuts. Airlines have kicked passengers off planes when they ask about nut allergens. They don't want an allergy attack in flight.

The simplest solution to that issue would be to stop serving peanuts on airplanes but and I am not making this up the nut industry got Congress to pass a law that specifically prevents that from happening.

There's also a simple solution to animal allergies: the baggage compartment. Government reports show the safety record for pets flying with checked baggage Designer Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags is excellent.

How safe is it? In September, two dogs died in the entire country, both on United Airlines: a pug named Bella that had a pre existing heart condition and a bulldog, Hope, that died of unknown causes between the Dominican Republic and New Jersey. That's out of more than 2 million pets flying a year.

So it's not a matter of safety, but of comfort and convenience.

I'm not against animals, but I think my comfort is more important than your rabbit's comfort. I have no choice but to fly in the passenger cabin. Animals can ride in a climate replica louis vuitton bags from china controlled compartment made just for them.

You want your fuzzy kitty by your side at all times. I want to not have burning eyes and a streaming nose that makes me a pariah among the people seated around me. I think cheap louis vuitton bags from china uk I have the better case.

Usually I avoid airing pet peeves in this column (or any peeves). Instead, I could turn this into a commentary about the decline of courtesy in America and the general crumbling of civilization.

But I'd rather just have my moment, like Samuel L. Jackson's in the movie "Snakes on a Plane" (but without the profanity): Enough is enough. I have had it with these gosh darned fur bearing mammals on these gosh darned planes.

Alaska and United airlines allow dogs, cats, rabbits and birds, if the animal fits replica designer handbags under the seat. On Alaska, the fee is the same as for a pet in the baggage compartment, $100. On United and Delta, the aaa replica designer handbags $125 in cabin fee is a discount from the baggage compartment (but no rabbits on Delta).

I flew across the country recently near a woman carrying a dog in her designer bag. By the time we arrived with delays, the flight lasted well over six hours a distinct odor of dog poop wafted through the area. But classy, Louis Vuitton dog poop.

Alaska, which I fly most, limits the number of animals in the passenger cabin to six, with five in coach and one in first class.

At one time, animals in replica louis vuitton the passenger cabin were rare. Occasionally, you would encounter service dogs assisting people with blindness, a real necessity that certainly should be permitted.

Then came Perfect Quality Louis Vuitton Replica emotional support animals, also a supposed necessity for some people. They claim their letter also beats the no pets rules when you rent an apartment.

Just check a box in an online exam saying you feel stress. (As a promotional video notes, everyone does.) The site claims the letter will get your animal on the plane without paying a fee. Size restrictions also won't count, as long as the animal fits in the row.

"There have been instances where people have brought pigs, snakes, chickens. "If they turn people down, they're potentially replica louis vuitton bags faced with a complaint of discrimination against a disabled person."

My idea of a comfort chicken is my mother's recipe, oven baked with marjoram and paprika.

replica louis vuitton bags from china But chickens could be the least of your worries. In 2000, a 300 pound comfort pig ran amok in the first class cabin of a US Airways plane (where it had its own seat). Hudson likens the airline livestock situation to riding Discount Replica Louis Vuitton Bags a bus in a developing country.

United has begun requiring 48 hour notice and a call to your psychologist before allowing a comfort pet. One thing high quality replica handbags china you can count on with United it gets its fees.

Alaska Airlines spokesperson Ray Lane said in an email that if a passenger arrives at the gate with a medical certificate stating that flying with animals would create a health concern, the airline will "most likely" move the passengers with animals to another flight not the allergy sufferer.

He said if a passenger complains of lesser pet allergies, the crew will try to reseat the passenger away from the animals.

Either way, it may be impossible to completely avoid animal allergens on a plane. Any seat you take may have been occupied by a pet in the recent past. Plane cleaners just pick up trash, Hudson said. Deep cleaning could happen as rarely as once a month.

Families with serious nut allergies can board early on some airlines to clean the area themselves. But check with the airline in advance. After asking to go on early and clean up, some families have been refused to board at all. Earlier this year, American Airlines faced a federal complaint over such discriminatory policies.

Hudson said if you have serious allergies, research airline policies, bring a medical certificate and carry an allergy remedy such as an EpiPen.

He said a federal committee met over the last year to devise new regulations, but came up with nothing. Like so many issues, this one, too, will be left to the courts.
