How a Troublesome Support Dog Ruined Our Flight to New Zealand

Unforgettable Flight Misadventure: Beware of the Snorting, Farting Emotional Support Dog

  • Gill and Warren Press, from New Zealand, endured a 13-hour flight from Paris to Singapore

Imagine enduring a 13-hour flight from Paris to Singapore, only to be seated next to a disruptive emotional support dog. That’s exactly what happened to Gill and Warren Press from New Zealand.

The Presses boarded a Singapore Airlines flight in premium economy class, expecting a comfortable journey home. However, their experience quickly turned nightmarish when they discovered their seats were next to a snorting, farting canine companion.

Mrs. Press described the unfortunate incidents, stating that the dog emitted odorous farts and dribbled on her husband’s bare leg. The couple endured the discomfort, unable to find alternative seating arrangements.

‘I heard this noise – a heavy snorting. I thought it was my husband’s phone, but we looked down and realized it was the dog breathing,’ Mrs. Press told Stuff.

Despite requesting to change seats, the couple was informed that the only available option was at the back of the economy class. Reluctant to move further back, they chose to endure the discomfort for the duration of the flight.

To their dismay, the foul smell persisted throughout the journey, as the animal encroached on Mr. Press’s leg space, causing further discomfort. The couple filed a compensation claim with the airline and were offered a travel voucher worth NZ$200 (£95) per passenger.

However, Mrs. Press finds this offer unsatisfactory and is now demanding a full refund. Singapore Airlines acknowledges the incident and states that they strive to inform customers seated near assistance dogs before boarding the flight. They promise to address this oversight to ensure a better experience for passengers in the future.

The airline spokesperson expressed apologies for the incident and emphasized their commitment to helping passengers seated next to assistance dogs find alternative seating within the same cabin, when available.
