[nagdu] An airline question

[Sherry Gomes]

I actually often have the opposite problem. They always try to put me in the
aisle seat, and I have to request a window. My right knee is fused, so I
can't sit in a non-bulkhead row, since the bulkhead is the only place my leg
can fit most of the time. But an aisle seat means people have to step over
my leg and the dog. Hmmm. But as others have said, there's no restriction
like that, except that the dog can't block the aisle. My friend has a huge
lab/golden cross who is probably around ninety pounds or more, and he fits
under the seat in a normal row with no trouble.

Hi all, someone in the National Federation of the Blind of 
Washington sent out an email asking if there are any regulations 
that say that dogs cannot sit in aisle seating.  Does anyone know 
if there are such regulations? They claimed that in the case of 
evacuation his dog would block the window seat passenger from 
getting out.  This was apparently on a Jet Blue flight from New 
York to Seattle.  Since I prefer the window seat, I've never had 
this question asked of me.  And I have had to sit in the middle.  
So I would have blocked the person by the window, using Jet 
Blue's logic.  So any help I  could get on this would be great.    
Peace,    Debby
