Airline Cabin Announcements?
All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: 1. On a Southwest flight 245 (SW has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!" 2. On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants." 3. On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have. 4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane" 5. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!" 7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight a announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa . To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised." 9. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite." 10. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 12. And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

Here's one I experienced first hand. Upon a particularly rough landing on the runway, the flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Folks, that wasn't the pilot's fault. And it wasn't the plane's fault. It was the asphalt."

Can you take a DOG as a carry on, on a UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT
Can you take a DOG as a carry on, on a UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT?
I am flying from Memphis Tn to Casper Wy and am wanting to take my Toy Poodle as a carry on. Iv heard as long as it was in a carrier and it would fit under the seat, that you can do this. Does anyone know if you can do this on ANY UNTIED AIRLINES FLIGHT? Also aprox. how much does this cost? and do they charge you twice if you are scheduled to switch planes? My flight is already booked through United. Memphis TN -Layover in Denver CO- Casper WY THANKS!!! Thanks for all your responses. I actually just called the airline :). They said i could take the dog. Its 85$. They did say if they found out the dog had been giving any sedatives, they would NOT let the dog on. They said sedatives can be very dangerous for dogs on planes. THANKS AGAIN!

i don't think so, but check with the flight agents
2 :
Your best bet is to call the airport. I know they used to, but I think in recent years they stopped allowing it due to the air filtration system and pet allergies.
3 :
Call United and ask them, or go to their website and read up on their info listed there.
4 :
You must let the airline know that you're taking your dog and they will tell you the rest.You'll need papers from you vet that you get at least 10 day before your flight and an airline approved carrier. I have flown a lot with Untied with my dog, they are one of the best. Have a great trip;~)
5 :
Yes I think you can. Check out this website for more info/restrictions: http://www.united.com/page/middlepage/0,1454,1047,00.html
6 :
Call the airlines. they all have different rules and I think they change them daily.

Yes, you can take your dog, but it has to fit in an "airline approved" carrier --you can find those at your local pet store. They will be marked as ariline approved. You should also carry your dog's vaccine/license information to show your dog has been vaccinated against rabies and other typical dog diseases. You may be asked for it when you get to your destination even if the airlines don't ask on boarding. You should also medicate your dog with sedatives. The trip is difficult for a pet without being let out of their cramped quarters, and is stressful. Their ears may hurt from the pressure, and they may bark as a result unless medicated. Medication for them is for the benefit of both the passengers and the dog. There is no fee if they fit in the carrier that fits under the seat. If they are too large to fit in the carrier, you will have to put them in cargo - and I STRONGLY urge you NOT to do that. The cargo hold has extreme temperatures and varying oxygen levels. This method is the last resort. This area does have additional fees, and they do not guarantee your dog will survive. Your dog is better off in boarding than the cargo hold.

My daughter flew from Michigan to Florida with her dog on board. The animal has to fit in a carrier approved by the airline(the airline gave my daughter one). The dog cage was so small , the dog couldn't move. Thank goodness it was a short flight. The animal would be classified as a carry-on, but there is a small fee.(a one-time fee) Check with the airline for any other questions you have.

Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no, Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?"

OH, MY GOD!" ?Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier.

You should see the back of mine!"?

Why are flights to and from Little Rock, AR so pricey? Are there other airports in the area I should check
Why are flights to and from Little Rock, AR so pricey? Are there other airports in the area I should check?
While researching possible relocation I noticed that flights to Phoenix, Detroit, Nashville, Memphis, Vegas are extremely high. Almost none of these flights offer non-stop service which I don't understand. Being from Detroit a flight from here to Chicago is about $70 yet a flight from Little Rock to Memphis (about the same distance) is almost $300.

smaller town=lesser competition. Did you try Southwest?

Many more travelers and demand to Detroit and Chicago especially with business travel. Little Rock to Memphis, not so much. No demand, No competition really, limited flights, higher prices....always. Are you booking in advance at all? Without being at work I can't look at fares to and from these cities and don't know your dates. Put it this way flights to places that no one goes to unless they live there or visiting family prices are always more expensive. Don't wait last min. to you will be disappointed when you see the price EVEN more. Online or not, travel is changing and Vegas isn't going to be as "cheap" as consumers are used to seeing it. Basically it is coming down to where either you pay the price or you don't go. Simple as that. It will take a while to retrain people, but if you want to go places then well like I said many things are changing......these airlines HAVE to get out of bankruptcy and by giving consumers last min. deals isn't the way to do it.

That is a pretty crazy price for the flight from Little Rock to Memphis, and it would be such a waste to spend the money since the drive is less than 2 hours on the interstate. Make sure you check out southwest airlines and the cheapies that you see on tv like orbitz and travelocity.
5 :
Many of the airlines hubs are in those cities. One thing you might try is to book a flight from say Detroit to Miami with a connection in Little Rock and just not take the second flight. Alot of times this is actually cheaper than flying into a hub location. I live in Memphis where Northwest's Hub is and they are the costliest to fly in town.
