According to the New York Post, a Delta Airlines passenger was reportedly bumped into their first-class seat to hold an unanticipated VIP, a service dog.
The steaming traveller, who shared their account on Reddit, said they had been upgraded to first school, only to be downgraded days later. ” I asked the office agent what was going on and she said ‘ something changed,'” wrote Redditor @ben_bob.
Upon board, the adventurer was shocked to find a dog occupying the chair they had been assigned. ” Okay, okay, I am disgruntled but whatever, I next table only to see this puppy in my first class seat … And now I’m livid”, they added, sharing a picture of the fur passenger in their location.
The flyer was informed after speaking with Delta Support that flight plan allows support animals to have priority even if it means shifting other travellers. The traveler called the position an “absolute joke” and said,” There is no way that puppy has spent as much with this airport as I have.” According to the New York Post, the airport also stated that there was “nothing they you do.”
Another Delta people shared their emotions. Note how nowhere else in living do you find this many company pets? one wrote. Another called it” National main-character syndrome”.
A Delta individual explained that disabled or assistance animals frequently avoid bulkhead seats, which are rows of rows behind a separation and offer more headroom and easier access. ” Delta has the legal obligation to move]passengers ] if a person with disabilities requires it”, they said.
Travel expert Gary Leff agreed with the displaced traveler and said he had no idea why Delta bumped a customer from initial class to dog in the wall. ” I really don’t see Delta’s reasoning in bumping a customer from first class to provide a dog in the bulkhead”, he said, according to the New York Post.
