A tale of true ingenuity in the face of bureaucracy. Aeroflot refuses to let a man take his cat on board because he is over the carryon weight limit. Man sneaks in another, lighter cat to be weighed, then switches it for his own and flies home in business https://baza.io/posts/bd7624a6-065e-4a7d-a5ce-bb75fa527577">https://baza.io/posts/bd7...
Pictured: Viktor the 10kg cat celebrating his victory over Aeroflot staff
for clarity: he found Phoebe, the other cat, through friends of friends in Moscow who went to the airport to help someone they didn& #39;t know do a cat-and-switch
If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, Kot Syrnik only weighs 5kg and lives just over half an hour& #39;s drive away from Sheremetyevo
The killjoys at Aeroflot have decided to punish Viktor the fat cat for sneaking onboard a flight by trading places with a lighter cat at baggage weigh-in, and have banned his owner from their miles program for life. Outrage! https://www.mskagency.ru/materials/2944561">https://www.mskagency.ru/materials...
Naturally there are some good memes about Aeroflot& #39;s harsh stance on fat cat transport
Fatcatgate continues: Russian MPs from Putin’s party are now demanding Aeroflot change its pet transport rules https://ria.ru/20191113/1560872195.html">https://ria.ru/20191113/...
The story of a Russian man& #39;s clever plan to sneak his fat cat onto a flight, and Aeroflot& #39;s draconian response, is now a matter of state. But the Kremlin is refusing to react! https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/5dcbfca19a794751e0a9a527">https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreene...
