Saudi royal buys plane tickets so his hawks can fly (first class, of course)
Nothing is insurmountable it seems: A Saudi royal, according to a Reddit user named @lensoo, was told a maximum of 6 birds of prey were allowed in the cabin on a Qatar Airways flight this week.
His response? He bought tickets for all 80 of his hawks. He even went as far to pay for them to go first class. You couldn’t make it up.

For the sake of accuracy. Your photograph shows Qatar Airways Economy Class. NOT First Class!
A Hawk boards an airplane with three dead raccoons. The flight attendant says to him, “I’m sorry, sir, it’s only two carrion per passenger.”
Quite funny
Dreadful, vulgar brutes….the owners not the birds
Advantages:
1) No snakes on that plane.
2) Better than crying babies.
3) if something bad happens, you can improvise a “Little Prince” moment by harnessing the birds and making a memorable escape from disaster.
