Growing up I used to hear people joke about feet up on the furniture, “were you raised in a barn?” But when it’s the animals with feet up on the furniture, it must just be an airport? Despite a supposed crack down on emotional support animals, commercial airplanes – and airport lounges – still may resemble Noah’s Ark with two of each animal.
Here’s a dog standing up on the furniture at the American Airlines Admirals Club in Los Angeles. Since customer provisions there lag what United and Delta offer at their clubs, this dog is presumably eating and drinking there just as well as the passengers.
Of course feeding your dog on the furniture in the lounge.

While ’emotional support animals’ aren’t supposed to be allowed on board anymore – passengers can either bring service animals or pay the pet in cabin fee and keep their animal inside its carrier – passengers simply have to attest on paperwork that their pet is a service animal. I’ve seen the return of Noah’s Ark to many of my flights over the past several months. That leads to frequent… stinky messes. Here was the passenger in the seat in front of me this past week:
Of course we’ve also seen a passenger let their dog eat off the restaurant table in the new Delta One business class lounge at New York JFK, and fly with them in business class.

Here’s a passenger with his feet up on the couch of a United Club, right beside a sign saying not to put your feet up on the furniture. So I’m not sure people behave better than pets.

I was actually on a Delta flight that the pilot turned around due to an unauthorized dog on board, they offloaded the passenger – and then let her and the dog back on. This led to a couple hours’ delay due to a shift change for refueling. The woman spent the flight petting the dog in her lap (hint: it wasn’t really a service animal).
