The majority of masses who responded to the ValuePenguin survey also said they ’d give redundant if that meant they could fly with their dearie — some even hundreds of dollar bill more !
America has spoken : We prefer pets over babies . puppy over toddlers . cat over kiddos .
OK , that might not be a true statement for everyone . But according to a surveyfrom ValuePenguin , 56 percent of Americans would rather sit next to a dearie on a carpenter’s plane rather than survive a journey seated next to a child . The other 44 per centum sided with the tiny humans .

ValuePenguin ’s resume , which was complete online by 1,550 masses late last month , comes as U.S. airlines begin to disallow worked up support animals from their planes after the U.S. Department of Transportationpublished Modern rules that permit the bans .
But service dogs are still allowed to work on plane and smaller hotdog can still travel in the cabin . So there may still be a time when you board a plane and have to choose : do you opt for sitting next to a teachable , friendlyGerman shepherd , or head toward the wee one who may also be friendly but will unquestionably reject to log Z’s ? Here at Daily Paws , we know what side of the gangway we ’d pick .
In fact , 48 percent of the sketch respondents say they feel felicitous when they see an fauna on their flight because they love animals . ( We get a line you ! ) Another 24 percent say they were apathetic about the presence of animals while 11 percent say they would be annoyed because pets can be " disruptive . " Sounds like someone could use a history object lesson on the30,000 years of shared historybetween mankind and dogs , to be true .
When it comes to the proscription on emotional support animals ( ESA ) , 34 percentage of the respondents support it while 30 per centum opposite it . Another 20 percent said they support restricting ESA but not ostracise them outright .
airway should take note : 80 pct of the survey respondents say they would pay supernumerary if it meant their pet could take flight with them in the cabin . Twenty - two percent would pay under $ 100 extra ( OK ) ; 24 percentage would devote $ 100–$199 ( still worth it ) ; 15 percent would pay $ 200–$299 ( little high-priced ) ; 9 percent would pay $ 300–$399 ( too much ) ; 4 percent would devote $ 400–$499 ( must be nice ! ) ; and 7 pct would be willing to pay $ 500 or more ( buy your own dang aeroplane ) .
For reference , the fair airline fare sit somewherebetween $ 200 and $ 300at many of the turgid U.S. aerodrome .
All of this is to say if airlines ever explore the almost unthinkable possibility of charging redundant fee ( ha ) , this would be a manner to do it .
