Unexpected Passengers: 10 Surprising Creatures Folks Have Spotted On Their Flights

When my roommate moved back home to Texas earlier this year,I was sad to see not only her face leaving our apartment, but also her sweet cat that I’d grown pretty attached to over the years. Of course, she was worried about how the little fella would handle flying halfway across the country, but she later told me that he was perfectly well-behaved the whole time.

But looking at the critters other folks have seen while traveling makes spying an ordinary cat seem like small potatoes. Whether it’s someone joined by their adorable and unique therapy or service animal, or an unwelcoming surprise appearance by a creepy crawly while in the air, you definitely never expect to lay eyes on most of these creatures.

And in the case of the service animals, they may be surprising to see on a plane, but they certainly are cute!

9. Snake

Samuel L. Jackson famously starred in a film based on this very idea, but luckily it was just the one snake found slithering recently on a flightfrom Torreon, Mexico to Mexico City. The snake was able to be removed by animal control after a quick emergency landing.

Obviously, these hoppy marsupials are a rare find, but if someone has the proper paperwork citing their ‘roo as a service animal, you might be like the American passengers who found themselves sharing the sky with this adorable little guy.
