If you will notice, most will give odds but are hesitant to use the I word...Impossible. Wonder why?Sometimes nature finds a way, like it or not. If you live near an International airport, or sea port, your odds wouldn't be as bad as quoted in this thread. I've seen bats in airplanes several times, both getting on and off. They are attracted by the easy accommodations (ever look inside a jetbridge canopy), free food (bugs) and few predators. Add a flowery fresh smell, bright pastel colors, and fruity drinks....and a local hummingbird may get stuck in coach for the long haul...they can fly across the gulf of Mexico which takes a while.This is in the realm of possibilities...not likelihood. Fair dinkum?</blockquote>
