Southwest Airlines is NOT pet friendly! They do not allow pets as cargo or in the cabin as other airlines do. We fly with our 2 little 4-lb. Yorkies and usually check them in as carry-on baggage. We ran late on a Southwest flight and just carried them on without checking them in. When the flight crew saw we had a pet, they notified the ground crew in Boise where we had a scheduled stop and made us get off the flight! They said they could not jeopardize the safety of 135 passengers for one. What do they know that all the other airlines don't?! I will never fly Southwest again with or without my babies!
