Gross story to put you off planes
My sister flew into Wellington from Melbourne last night. When she picked up her luggage she couldn't help notice that it was SATURATED IN URINE. She went to the baggage help desk, and they helpfully explained that it happens quite often when bags are situated under the animals on the plane.
Lovely.

Good gods, that's disgusting! The least the airline can do is to warn passenger about it - better still, try and keep checked-in luggage covered with a plastic sheet of something.
Disgusting and unreasonable... and moreover, WTF?! Ugh.
Eww. Though the fact that it was dog pee and not human pee makes it slightly less unappetizing for some reason. Slightly.
Well they've been taking the piss for a while so it only seems natural to start giving it too.
I live with a very humane woman whose first response to this was "poor scared animals!"
This is why I love her.
good lord!
A few years I went to Samoa on holiday, and on the flight back there were many Samoans taking back styrofoam containers of fresh seafood for their 'aiga back in Auckland.
It's ok if the container is well sealed, but some of them just had a few wraps of tape, meaning with a big of jostling the lid worked loose and smelly seafood juice came trickling out on to other people's bags, including mine.
Apparently on the Concorde, bags used to be shrink-wrapped before the flight (something to do with condensation?), but I'm thinking that might be a good idea for all travel...
