I also like the way serving and retired US personnel get a priority boarding and are acknowledged. Wouldn’t expect that gesture to get much traction in Australia either.
same here Gnads, I fly a hell of a lot on us carriers, always full loads, and seeing the occasional pussy cat or puppy dog is actually cool. Never had a dog or cat carry on - but pax on the other hand ………
