    Abstract: A system may include an aircraft passenger seat implemented in an aircraft and an aircraft passenger computing device implemented in, on, or in proximity to the aircraft passenger seat. The aircraft passenger computing device may be communicatively coupled to an animal crate assembly onboard the aircraft. The aircraft passenger computing device may include an aircraft passenger display viewable by a passenger and a processor communicatively coupled to the aircraft passenger display.
