A passenger arrives with a cabin pet and is seated in Row 8. What should you tell her?

• A. The cabin pet may remain in Row 8
• B. She must move from exit row 8D due to cabin pet
• C. The pet must be stored under the seat during takeoff
• D. Exit row policy does not apply to cabin pets

Answer: (B)

Exit rows must be kept clear for rapid egress in an emergency, and the occupant in that seat must be ready to operate the exit if needed. A cabin pet in that area could block the exit or interfere with evacuation, so policy requires relocating from the exit row when a cabin pet is present. The pet should be in a carrier and stored under the seat during takeoff and landing, so plan for a reassignment away from the exit row.
