A couple from New Zealand is seeking a refund of their airfare from Singapore Airlines, as they have to endure about 13 hours seated beside a dog that was slobbering, farting, and whining throughout the journey.
The Wellington couple Gill and Warren Press were travelling back to New Zealand from Europe in June and had boarded the 13-hour flight from Paris to Singapore when they were surprised to discover a dog was accompanying the passenger in the seat beside them.
The news outlet also said that the couple asked for a seat change, but that the cabin crew informed them that the only available seats were located at the rear of the economy class section. The crew eventually chose to stay in their original seats, as they didn't want to downgrade. The authors also asserted that halfway through the flight, the dog's presence became intolerable.
The couple said the dog was also passing gas, adding that it was more than necessary for the couple to snort. The dog had access to Mr Press' legroom by putting its head under his feet, which triggered saliva to drip onto his leg.
'' Couldn't have the dog out in the aisle because they couldn't get the trolleys through, so it had to come in farther, which meant his head was under my husband's feet. My husband, who was in shorts, was getting the dog's saliva goo on his leg.
