'Fifi made everyone smile'
Meanwhile, Newsweek spoke to Fifi’s owner, Helen, who said, “I adopted Fifi when she was one year old. We believe this is her first flight and we decided to fly business and have Fifi in the cabin with me because I couldn't deal with her being in the hold with the cargo.” “She's my sidekick and I don't like to be away from her. And she's the same. At home - she will always follow me into the restroom and come into the bedroom for a morning cuddle. Fifi made everyone smile and when we left the airplane people were surprised to see her on the plane as she was quiet,” the owner noted.
Helen also mentioned tips for people, who want to take their pets for a trip. She added, “Make sure your dog is comfortable being in the dog carrier and offer treats as a reward for spending time in the carrier. To prevent any accidents, feed your dog a few hours before the flight and limit their water intake. Make sure your dog has had plenty of exercise before arriving at the airport as some airlines don't allow your pet to leave the carrier. Book a red-eye flight so your dog can get a full sleep.”
