Turkish Airlines understands people

My first entry in this blog will be to thank the wonderful people who work for Turkish Airlines, as they allowed Freya (my cat) to fly with me in the cabin, from Germany to Turkey, despite the ban on pets with more than 6 kilos of weight, including the carrier (Freya almost came to 9 kgs with (large) carrier size). And all because these people, this culture (the Turkish one), understands the power of a conversation and the feelings involved.

            One makes peace with the human race when sees how an "impossible, a losing battle" with any other people I know, in the hands of the Turkish, becomes an "I understand your despair and we'll look for a solution right now." A little while after that, Freya is flying in the passenger seat, next to me, with almost 9 kilos and no danger to the safety of the aircraft or the passengers and everyone is a winner.


It is very encouraging to see that in some cultures, words find their way to the heart, even when there are laws that separate us from our human side. Turkey still maintains it and hopefully will never lose, because it is one of its hallmarks.  
Thanks Turkish Airlines (THY)!
