alaskaair passenger claims airline lost his emotional support alligator, then tries to charge him for the “excess emotional baggage fee”
Honestly, AITA for laughing at this guy? TL;DR: Dude boards an AlaskaAir flight from Anchorage, brings a literal 4-foot alligator as an “emotional support animal,” loses the damn reptile somewhere between the gate and the cargo hold, and now he’s mad the airline wants to hit him with a $200 fee for the “unattended reptile in the secure area.” Like, congrats, you’ve achieved peak First World Problems. The gator probably escaped to start a better life anyway—probably got a job as a luxury handbag sales rep. AlaskaAir’s response: “We do not condone the smuggling of Jurassic Park props into our overhead bins.” Anyway, the guy’s GoFundMe for “Gator Reconstruction Therapy” has raised $12.
