Can the Screaming Kid Get a Leak-Proof Crate too....?

Beginning June 17, 2009, Southwest Airlines, looking to increase revenues and customer service, will allow small cats and dogs in aircraft cabins for a $75 fare each way. The pet program — called P.A.W.S. (Pets Are Welcome on Southwest) — is in response to customer demand, Southwest said. The dog or cat must be in a well-ventilated, leak-proof container that fits under the seat in front of the passenger.

Southwest anticipates that the pet program will generate tens of millions of dollars of revenue each year.

The carrier will also add a $25 service charge to the fare for unaccompanied minors, defined as children 5 to 11 years old traveling without an adult.
