A 21-year-old female college student in the US attempted to bring her pet sugar glider onboard a flight to return home for medical treatment, only to be denied boarding by the airline citing the glider as a rodent. In a bizarre turn of events, airport staff suggested she flush the glider down the toilet and she complied. Meanwhile in Shanghai, a passenger snuck a sugar glider onto a flight causing a delay of over an hour after it escaped onboard, leading to all passengers being removed from the aircraft. The incident resulted in the flight being delayed and the passenger facing administrative detention for causing disruption on public transport.
