  • Orange and white cat.
  • Me: I have two tickets under my name. I'm flying with my cat & I bought the extra one for extra room for us. I need to make sure those seats are together.
  • Customer Service Representative: Ma'am we do not allow cats to aquire their own seat. Me: ...I understand. My cat doesn't have his own seat, I have two seats. Because I wanted more room. I need the seats together other it defeats the purpose.
  • There are some miscommunications going on here!

    CSR: Ma'am your cat will have to remain with you, your cat cannot have a separate seat. Me: ...
  • Me....I'm going to need you to stay with me on this one. I am Maya. I have two seats on this flight. Correct? CSR: Yes. I see two bookings.
  • Orange and white cat looks at a smiling flight attendant.
  • It's like the rep is picturing the cat sitting down and watching in-flight TV while having a snack and a soda

    Me: My cat is traveling with me. CSR: Yes, and you bought your cat his own seat.
  • Me: No, I bought myself an extra seat. I still have to pay the animal fee upon check in & he still has to be under the seat in front of me. I bought a second seat so I would have more room. I just need you to place the seats together. CSR: Your cat cannot have a seat.
  • When your patience is running thin!

    Me: ...i need you to know i am trying so hard to be kind...let's forget the cat exists. I have two seats on this flight. I need those seats to be next to eachother. CSR: Okay...
  • "And where will the cat go?" Girl.....

    Me: Please put seat one, next to seat two. CSR: ...& where will your cat go? Me: Under the seat in front of me.
  • No problem! It's over!

    CSR: Okay so th extra seat for you is a comfort seat. Me: Yes. CSR: Okay no problem. Done. Me: Terrific! Thank you! *internally melting *
  • People thought this whole misunderstanding was really funny

    MajimeKoala @MajimeKoala "So in other words, you're saying the cat will be in first class and you'll be in coach?"
  • Very odd!

    Okoye Sunda... @Odelora_ The wild part is you were basically trying to solve a comfort logistics problem, and they kept responding like you were attempting to smuggle a feline into business class as a plus-one guest.
  • Who would even care if the cat was in the seat? It would be in that seat in a bag, not like, strapped in with the airplane seat buckle

    Edwin @edwin_16_04 Why did they keep talking about the cat having a seat, like you booked for an extra seat whether or not you give it to the cat has to be none of their concer
  • Apata Annie @apataannie... The patience you showed is next level. Most of us would have given up or snapped after the third time she brought up the cat having a seat. You turned it into a comedy sketch by simplifying everything. Seat one next to seat two should be taught in customer service training.
