We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Yes, you read that correctly.  It’s not something you hear about every day, but there was almost a flying squirrel on Frontier Airlines Flight 1612 from Orlando to Cleveland.

    A passenger was able to make it through security and onto the flight with a pet squirrel she considered an emotional support animal.  Apparently, the passenger didn’t get the memo that rodents are NOT considered emotional support animals.  Frontier Airlines may have to reconsider painting animals onto their aircraft tails because apparently some folks take it as an indication to bring any and every animal companion along with them.

    The flight was delayed 2 hours because the unidentified woman who boarded with her squirrel refused to get off the plane.  **Queue the drama**  The local police were called in and all passengers were asked to exit the plane, prolonging everyone’s travel day a bit longer.

    To top it off, the woman proceeded to flip off passengers and tell them to “shut up” as she was being escorted off the plane with her squirrel.  Passengers have long tried to bring unique animals on the plane ranging from snakes and spiders to peacocks and hedgehogs, but a squirrel?  You can’t make this stuff up.

    As of November 1, Frontier Airlines is limiting support animals to a cat or dog.  Hopefully, this clears things up for future travelers who want to board with exotic pets.
