I hadn't realised it was a possibility - and I find flights boring, not scary
I might choose a 🐒 for entertainment though

How about you ? .... 🐸 🦆 🦉 🦇 🐢 🦔 ?

US woman removed from plane after boarding with 'emotional support' squirrel

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/10/us-woman-flight-plane-emotional-support-squirrel

Frontier Airlines ... said the passenger had noted in her reservation that she was bringing an emotional support animal – but she did not indicate it was a squirrel.
...
The incident followed others where an “emotional support peacock”, Dexter,
was barred from boarding a flight with its owner earlier this year
and, of course, Pebbles, the emotional support hamster, which ended up flushed down a toilet. Shock

The name of the squirrel has not yet been released. Wink

Penguin for me please, I just find them so comical. Adelies are my fave. Can I bring one of my adopted ones?

Does my emotional support crocodile need his own seat or can he lurk in the aisle? 🐊

Pissedoffdotcom · 10/10/2018 23:20

OMG i may have to change my mind & take a sloth 🤔 altho perhaps i'll stick with my giraffe & just bring Sid the sloth in my hand luggage (cuddly teddy sloth DP bought me). Best of both worlds...

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 10/10/2018 23:21

Has to be Snakes on a Plane.
With possibly Samuel L Jackson as human support

BigChocFrenzy · 10/10/2018 23:22

green I think your support crocodile might break my rule of not eating anyone else's animal
... or maybe just eating someone else !

I’d like a honey badger, please

BigChocFrenzy · 10/10/2018 23:26

EEEEWWW squiff I suspect snakes or insects would upset everyone else's emotions < shudders >

In case anyone chooses ants - or they tag along in another animal's fur, maybe I'll bring an anteater or two:

If I declare myself to be my dog's Emotional Support Human, do you think I'd get a discount on my tickets?

SpoonBlender · 10/10/2018 23:30

Best (theoretical) registered support animal I ever heard of was a swarm of bees. So fuzzy and with such a comforting buzz... Grin

greenlynx · 10/10/2018 23:31

I would take a cat. They are great for emotional support and never boring!

Namechange000001 · 10/10/2018 23:42

I also would bring my peacocks. They are very cool, and can give a ferocious kick to anyone who annoys them. Not to mention they tut under their breath constantly when people get too close, saving me the trouble....

BigChocFrenzy · 10/10/2018 23:48

You have peacocks, 🦃 name ? Hmm

appleoftheluck · 10/10/2018 23:51

Definitely a baby goat, they are so cuddly but also entertaining if you get a bit bored.

Littlemouseroar · 11/10/2018 00:18

I’d bring an elephant. There would be enough room on the plane for me and Jimbess and everyone else can get the next flight. ✈️

BigChocFrenzy · 11/10/2018 00:19

A cuddly koala, if you have something for it to cling too

A flock of sheep. One per passenger. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

DollyDayScream · 11/10/2018 00:39

Baby Orang-utan.

FlowThroughIt · 11/10/2018 00:45

A Cobra, what else? Hmm

bridgetreilly · 11/10/2018 00:50

I can't think of much that would terrify me more than getting on a plane and finding it full of animals.

AuntieFesterAdams · 11/10/2018 00:53

A pangolin. It would snuggle up in a ball on my lap

MrsTommyBanks · 11/10/2018 00:56

Orangutan.

Broken11Girl · 11/10/2018 00:57

Oh damn you deeply, you beat me to it!
I would bring any animal that could be trained to savage twats who recline their seat to within 2 inches of my face, or go to sleep trapping me in the window seat for a several hour long flight unable to go to the toilet or stretch my legs Grin
