They wrote: "Flirty and I took to the skies, yesterday! It was a great experience and I learned a lot. Flirty was FANTASTIC and handled it all like a pro."That being said, I’m going to keep travelling by car, it’s just easier on Flirty. Flying will be reserved for emergencies and such."
They added: "It’s just too difficult to make sure Flirty doesn’t inconvenience other passengers.
"Because my airport is smaller, the planes are smaller and don’t have solid bulkheads. Flirty couldn’t help jostling seat of the person in the last row of first class every time she moved.
"Once we got up to cruising altitude, she took a nap and was very quiet. But she had to rebalance quite a bit while ascending and descending and kept bumping the back of their seat through the curtain 'bulkhead.'"
