A man lost 400,000 frequent flyer miles for sneaking a fat cat onto his flight in Russia

The airline cancelled the man's frequent flyer account after he brought a smaller cat to check-in, then switched it with his heavier pet.

Russian airline Aeroflot invalidated a customer's frequent flyer miles after he snuck his cat aboard a flight. The cat was too heavy to fly in the cabin and would have to be checked in the cargo hold, so the passenger found someone with a smaller but similar-looking cat, brought that one to check-in, and then switched the cats before going through security. He made a viral Facebook post, but the airline saw, and cancelled his frequent flyer account for violating the rules.
