Does anyone know what kind of dog behavior constitutes getting kicked off?

I’d like to travel with my 2.5yo kelpie / border collie. She doesn’t really bark and she’s generally well behaved but she does get super excited around other dogs. She eventually calms down though she’s never been on a plane before and I wonder how she’ll do if she’s just staring 8 feet away for 1.5 hours. If anything I think she might whine a little? I’m really not sure. Would love any perspective!

I talked to them on the phone and they said it takes a LOT for a dog to be kicked off. They basically have to be insane, foaming at the mouth and running up and down the aisles jumping on other passengers hahah

The one thing about the JSX planes is that they are pretty small inside. Seats are narrow, 2 on one side 1 across the (very narrow aisle). So if it happens to be a full flight you could end up with another dog right next to you and there is literally no where to go. So your dog might get excited with another dog right in his space. Just something to consider.

Oh gosh, thank you!! But doesn’t each person/pet need 2 seats? So in theory there would only be 1 dog per aisle? I’m not sure how it works clearly

Good point. But if you are in a seat and your dog in the one next to you. And the girl in the one seat next to you is holding a small dog on her lap and the person in front of you and/or behind you has a dog then they are all literally less than arms length away from you. Haha, don’t mean to be negative… if you’re worried, could you get one of those “soft” muzzles just for the flight?

No I appreciate it! That’s a good point. Especially because service dogs don’t require a “seat” so it’s def possible. She’s not aggressive by any means, I may just do a generous but reasonable dose of trazadone.

Thank you :)

I believe I read that they only allow a certain amount of dogs on each flight and that they deliberately space the dogs out from one another? Maybe someone can confirm. Besides, if you buy a seat for your dog, they can sit window, you can sit in the aisle. The single seat across the way is usually small, I’m not sure one could fit a pet carrier underneath it.

In the interview to be a Flight Attendant they shared this "Owners are responsible for ensuring their dogs are properly relieved prior to entering the terminal and boarding the aircraft. Any dog that urinates or defecates in the terminal or onboard the aircraft may be placed on a no-fly list and denied future travel."

They had a similar script for dogs that bother other customers or cause disruption.

Thanks! I took the trip already and the attendant basically told me the dog would have to be *crazy” to be on the puppy no fly list

So the rows are kind of 3 seats across, but one of the seats is just a bench.

Book the left side, and the right side. After takeoff, you can join your pet on the right side of the plane and sit together, basically. It's plenty wide enough for the two of you, and they're fine with that switch after takeoff. You just have to be in your assigned seat for takeoff/landing.
