A Drug Smuggler’s Dream Come True: Thai Airline Will Now Sell Seats To Dolls

@Frankie I don't think anyone argues the love of an animal and the support they can offer. However, the testing of this practice has truly reached the absurd as seen with the recent boarding of a live Turkey on a Delta flight that was deemed a "support animal." People are clearly abusing the rules for either humor, attention, or the ability to bring on pets that would otherwise not be allowed. As you might be offended by a "smelly drunk man hitting on you" (really?), for which I (or my wife who travels a great deal alone) have never witnessed on a flight, I can tell you that I am also not amused by having pooping rabbits (or whatever) included as seat mates. Mental health is a debilitating and destructive disease that deserves empathy and support. However, one must ask the question that if a person is not able to fly or function in enclosed areas without an animal at their feet that they are truly someone that should be, at this point, flying and exposed to otherwise very stressful processes of airports and travel. I would imagine that in the case of emergency, or the absolute need to travel during these times of emotional difficulties or mental hurdles that a support HUMAN going along with you would make much more sense. As well, this human would affectively block the seat of the guy "hitting on you" or, perhaps, the guy who simply strikes up a conversation to pass the time and who you decide is "hitting on you."

Hear we go again - another massively click-baity article title, that mocks another culture's beliefs, and infers an ancient and long established mythology is really just a cover for the very modern drug trade. There is so many offensive elements here it's hard to know where to start! Firstly, the dolls aren't exempt from standard security screening (that any item or anyone experiences transiting through a sterile zone of an airport). Just as security can detect people smuggling drugs on their person, they can detect them in hand luggage or these dolls. It appears, for shock/outrage reasons, Lucky has drawn a very big long bow to inflate a rather ridiculous beat-up, that just has the added side effect to mock and ridicule another culture. Lucky, what in hell are you thinking? As others have mentioned, I'd happily have a inanimate small doll take a seat (and it's a paid seat!) over a screaming child not ready for airline travel, a turkey "emotional support animal", or an obnoxious adult (including cultural disparaging media hyping travel bloggers). You need to have a good long hard think about how nasty this trashy article of yours is (you'd never see Tiffany post something like this...)

Well that about covers the support animal and doll owner readers. I do wonder if these rules carry over to the full sized lifelike sex dolls. Some of those cost thousands.

Is the doll eligible to ear miles as well?

Sorry to disappoint you, frankie, I actually like animals , certainly more than stinky, drunk men. And, on top if it, my life is great! Just imagine!!
