All the awful, part 6.

Alls well that ends well.

I actually board a flight. And I immediately asked the stewardess to find out if Jenner is on board. She tells me that they cannot contact the loading people until we are in air but never in her experience has an animal been left behind. Which was comforting. After we reach altitude she tells me that the captain said it would be okay and further told me to go to baggage claim and they would bring Jenner to me, imagine that! And I said how will they know me and she said they will, don't worry. And now I'm convinced they are all telepaths or something. 

The 2 hour flight was entirely uneventful and I actually got some sleep. I head down to baggage claim  and I'm waiting for Jenner. I see a lady bringing him out and I make a bee line for her, so that's how they find me. The crazy American running toward you with a look of glee, is the one who owns the cat. She hands Jenner over to me after checking my baggage claim tickets and passport. Tells me he is lovely and fat, I agree. Other people ask about him and want his picture. Because he is so fat and entertaining. He was panting from the heat, but laying on his side, lounging. We get our bags. Make it out of baggage claim and find Aj. We release Jenner from prison into the car and he goes under a seat which was a pain in the ass when we got home.but ultimately he was fine, as the vet said. He is no worse for wear and didn't suffer adversely from the flight. I'm convinced it's because he is a giant.

Clearly Jenner has zero problems adjusting, this is him the night we got home.


It's a lot to deal with for a pet, but when your pet is as amazing as Jenner. It's worth it.

So to sum up, united is shit. ANA and JAL are amazing and I will forever be greatful for the way they treated us, and will endeavor to fly them for the rest of my life if I can. And united has lost a good 60 years worth of business and they have earned my hatred.

United negative 5 bazillion points
ANA and JAL - incalculable.

  1. I have had issues flying all airlines but I have to agree United's customer service is the worst. So glad you started this blog, and that you and Jenner made it safe!
