However, They ended up having a bad experience when they ended up sitting next to a passenger who had an emotional support dog Which ended up being quite noisy and smelly.

In the first part of the flight everything seemed unnoticed, because the dog was only panting and drooling, but After dinner, when they were trying to fall asleep, the dog started passing flatulence.

Not wanting a dog to take up their legroom for the entire flight, they asked if there were other seats they could move to, but were told the only ones available were in the back of economy class, which cost less than usual. that the couple had paid.

The couple chose to stay, but things got worse when the dog began to fart more in the confined environment.

The couple eventually decided to move after other seats that had been reserved for airline staff became available on the flight.

The couple asked Singapore Airlines for a refund and they were unhappy when they were initially offered travel vouchers, so they continued with the airline case.

After months of complaints, the airline agreed to a refund of around $1,410, which they said they planned to donate to a New Zealand charity that brings together guide dogs and the visually impaired.
