Honestly, I was shocked to see how many negative comments were left after this post. I think people are very SPOILED to Southwest. They are clearly the best deal when it comes to flying and on top of that, you get great service. I'm sure that when Southwest was mulling over this policy, the issue of people with pet allergies did, at some point, cross their mind. Does anyone seriously think they would make such a huge change without considering all the possibilities? Give them a little more credit. These are the same people that have kept your fares extremely low, your flights on time, and your flight attendants making you laugh. I completely trust their judgement and you should know that if they've been this concerned about keeping their customers happy for this long, they will continue to make your flying experience safe and happy. If you had some huge allergy that would kill you if you were on a plane with a dog, I'm sure they would do everything in their power to accomodate you. So why don't you cross that bridge when you get to it?
