slide in use. It s even less likely you ll see two passengers use it to slide out of a plane with their dog before the flight takes off.
But on Monday, that happened at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York. During flight 462’s taxi-out at LaGuardia on Dec. 21, a party of two (people) opened a cabin door and exited the aircraft via the slide, Morgan Durrant, spokesperson for Delta Air Lines, told USA TODAY.
The passengers, Antonio Murdock, 31, and Brianna Greco, 23, both residents of Florida, also had a service dog with them, Lenis Valens, spokesperson for Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the airport, told USA TODAY.
