While travellers around the world bemoan the cost of international flights, a 23-year-old has made headlines for spending $1743 to take her dog on a month-long vacation in Italy.
Like many young people, Catherine Sophie recently spent a month in Italy, enjoying the warmer weather. Unlike many young people, the actress from Glasgow shelled out more than $1700 to ensure her 3-year-old Maltese could join her, reported South West News Service.
As an actress, Sophie regularly travels between Glasgow and London and takes Teddy with her, so she knew her best friend would handle the flight well.
“I travel a lot for work and Teddy is a great companion,” she told SWNS, adding that she felt lucky at how well-behaved he was.
So, when Sophie booked a flight from Edinburgh to Rome on April 2, she decided to book a spot for Teddy, who got to spend the flight under her seat.
