Russian man loses airline miles for sneaking fat cat onto flight

Russia’s airline Aeroflot on Tuesday stripped a passenger of his air miles after he boasted online of sneaking his overweight cat on board by switching him for a slimmer cat during check-in.

“The weigh-in showed that the animal had fattened up to 10 kilograms, a level not allowed for the cabin,” where the limit is eight kilograms, Galin wrote. He posted a photo of happy Viktor sitting on the plane with a glass of bubbly, becoming an instant hero for Russia’s cat lovers.The probe into the cat swap showed that Galin broke airline rules by switching Viktor for “a similar animal weighing seven kilograms,” which was confirmed on video surveillance footage, Aeroflot said.
