Dogs Sitting Next To Each Other On A Plane Have 'Love At First Flight'

When you get on a flight, it's sometimes inevitable that you strike up a friendly conversation with the person sitting next to you. Usually, though, you don't start sniffing them and licking their face. In this Instagram video, flying the friendly skies means a little bit more when two docile doggies get seated next to each other on a plane, and it couldn't be sweeter. 

Set to "You've Got a Friend in Me" from "Toy Story," the video is captioned, "first class kisses only 🐾 I made a new best friend on @breezeairways đŸ”ī¸ easy breezy flight thanks to the paw-some captain and flight attendants! đŸ›Šī¸" In it, you see two medium-sized dogs down the aisle, low to the ground, poking their faces across the aisle to sniff and lick each other in a seemingly friendly greeting as their pet parents watch in delight.

After watching it all unfold, people ran to the comments in glee, imagining what the flight might have been like, since dogs aren't usually seen out of crates on flights. "Imagine zoomies of those two up and down the aisle. I'd pay for a flight like that," said one person, as another added, "I just need to be on this flight. I don't care where I'm going. â¤ī¸â¤ī¸" Meanwhile, one person succinctly commented, "Love at first flight â¤ī¸âœˆī¸."

Flying on planes with dogs

Flying with your pet requires research, advanced planning, and extra fees. Airlines have a lot of rules when it comes to accommodating pets, especially dogs, who are sometimes required to fly as cargo rather than in the main cabin, so make sure you understand them all before departure day. Small dog breeds are more often allowed in the cabin than larger breeds, and they are usually expected to fit in an airline-approved pet carrier under the seat.

If you're lucky enough to be able to fly with your furry friend in the cabin, you'll want to best prepare your pet for a safe and comfortable journey. First, make sure they are accustomed to the carrier before the day of the flight, and put some comfort items inside, like a blanket and a favorite stuffed toy. Feed your pet before heading to the airport, and make sure to let him or her have a bathroom break right before getting on the plane (most airports have designated pet relief areas just for this).

Additionally, bring along some dog treats, as your four-legged friend might want a snack during a long flight too! Don't hesitate to speak up to a flight attendant if you think your dog needs water or some other available item during the journey. In the end, hopefully, your pet will be one of those dogs ready to travel anywhere you take them!
