A United Airlines passenger was left without a seat when a large service dog took over their assigned spot. Flight attendants were unhelpful, leaving the passenger to try and resolve the situation themselves.
Travel ing by plane can be full of surprises, but finding a dog stretched out in your seat is next-level comedy. One passenger had to move from their assigned seat on a flight so a giant service dog could sit comfortably in their place. The passenger tried to get the flight attendants to help with the situation, but they wouldn’t do anything about it, so the passenger was left without a seat.
But, as they approached their seats, they realized that the spot had already been claimed, not by a fellow passenger, but by a colossal service dog. And no, it was not curled up neatly on the floor. This furry giant fully occupied the OP’s seat, with its tail probably wagging at the absurdity of it all. Our unlucky Redditor tried reasoning with the dog’s owner and flagged down a flight attendant, hoping for a quick resolution. Instead, they got a shrug. Yes, a shrug. The kind that says, “Not my circus, not my monkeys,” or, in this case, oversized. The situation escalated when it became clear that the flight was completely full, leaving the OP convinced they’d be grounded in favor of a canine. And, after what must have been an awkward standoff, a United Airlines staff member boarded to assess the situation. But guess what? The dog stayed put. The dog owner? Presumably unfazed. The passenger? Probably wondering when airlines started prioritizing paws over people. I don’t know about you, but I’d be pretty irritated at this point. The airline’s policy clearly states that service animals must not occupy the aisle or floor space of other passengers but—get this—it doesn’t say anything about seats! So how did this happen? One word: loopholes. While airlines are obligated to accommodate legitimate service animals, there seems to be a lack of clarity when it comes to seating arrangements. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for service animals, as they provide invaluable assistance to those who need them. Service dogs, especially, are pretty much furry heroes, often smaller in size, but not in impact
