Eleven original paintings worth more than half a million dollars were supposed to make their way from Japan to a gallery in New York. According to a new lawsuit, they made it as far as Hawaii before things went very wrong.

The paintings were travelling from Osaka to New York when they were transferred between aircraft in Honolulu on March 18. The lawsuit claims Alaska Airlines unloaded the artwork during a heavy rainstorm and made “no effort to protect” it from the water.

That was particularly unfortunate considering the paintings were works on paper packed inside cardboard crates. The complaint says all 11 became soaked, leaving more than $521,900 worth of alleged damage.

An insurer has since paid the gallery’s claim and is now suing Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and logistics company Compass Forwarding in an attempt to recover the money. The complaint accuses the airlines of gross neglect and reckless disregard. Alaska Airlines had not responded to The Independent’s request for comment when its story was published.

Transporting valuable artwork by air isn’t unusual, but leaving 11 original paintings exposed during a Hawaiian downpour is certainly not how anyone expected this particular journey to end.

Who do you think should be responsible for the $521,900 bill?

Meet Keahi! His family recently relocated from Hawaii to Seattle, and thanks to Alaska Airlines, Keahi was able to fly in-cabin the entire way-safe and comfortable under his family’s seat.

His guinea pig siblings traveled in the baggage compartment on the same flight. They were treated gently and arrived safely, a little shaken up but already popcorning again after their journey.

The contrast shows why in-cabin options matter so much for small companion animals. Keahi’s family could keep him right beside them. While his guinea pig siblings traveled separately they were still handled with care and remained close to their family throughout the journey.

Just a year ago, this family would have had to ship their pets separately like packages through @americanair cargo-paying a high price, facing a complicated itinerary and potentially being forced to leave them behind.

Thank you, @alaskaair and @hawaiianairlines, for helping keep little families like this one together.

This is what progress looks like. And we hope more airlines recognize that pets aren’t just dogs and cats. Every companion animal deserves safe, humane travel options. 🐰🐹✈️

With rabbits being the third most popular companion animal in the U.S. and more families wanting to relocate and travel with their pets, in-cabin options for rabbits are becoming increasingly important. Airlines have an opportunity to benefit from this growing demand while helping families stay together.

Military families (or any families) should not have to choose cargo for their beloved rabbits. 🐰🇺🇸✈️

When Cookie’s family relocated from Hawaii to Dallas in 2025, rabbits weren’t accepted in-cabin on Alaska or Hawaiian Airlines. Their only option was American Airlines Cargo.

But look at what has changed.

A year later @alaskaair and @hawaiianairlines have now expanded their rabbit in-cabin policy to include travel involving Hawaii — a major change that gives rabbit families more options to keep their pets with them when they fly.

That means a family like Cookie’s would have a very different option today.

If Alaska and Hawaiian can change, American can, too.

Rabbits are companion animals. They deserve the opportunity to travel safely in-cabin with their families—not be treated as cargo simply because they are rabbits and not small dogs or cats.

It’s time for @americanair to recognize that rabbits are pets, not pests.

📣 Call. Email. File a DOT complaint. Ask American to let bunnies fly.

That Weird Sound Your Plane Makes During Descent
That sound during descent everyone hears it. 🔊
Everyone notices it. But what is actually happening?
As the aircraft descends, it gradually begins configuring for landing. Flaps extend. Slats move. Later, the landing gear comes down. Each system creates its own mechanical sounds at different stages of the approach.
And while passengers hear the clunks, whirs and thuds, pilots are monitoring something even more important: the cockpit indications confirming that each critical system is in the correct position.
So that clunk isn’t necessarily something breaking.
It’s the aircraft getting ready to land. ✈️
Science hiding in plain sight. 🔬✈️
