Someday, actor/director Seth Rogen will find an airline that he likes. For now, cross another one off the list.

For the second time in a year, Rogen went on a Twitter rant against an airline, this time Cathay Pacific after a snafu in which his wife wasn't allowed to take their dog on a flight from New York to Vancouver for a funeral.

Rogen tweeted this to his 2.3 million followers on Monday:

I advise everyone to never fly @cathaypacific if possible. They are bad people.

- Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) December 8, 2014

Followed a minute later, by:

Next time you're about to book a flight on @cathaypacific just remember this tweet, and then book another airline, because they are bad.

- Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) December 8, 2014

Eleven minutes later, Rogen tweeted

My wife is missing a funeral because @cathaypacific wouldn't let her and our dog on a plane after they let us book the trip with the dog.

- Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) December 8, 2014

Cathay Pacific then replied to Rogen:

Regret to hear about the disappointment, @Sethrogen, do you mind sharing the details via DM? We'd like to see what we can do for you. -Roni

- Cathay Pacific (@cathaypacific) December 8, 2014

Judging by a statement Cathay Pacific released to the South China Morning Post, it appears that Rogen and his wife, actress Lauren Miller, might have tried or asked to bring the dog into the cabin area.

"Current Civil Aviation Department regulations specify only disability-assistance dogs are allowed into the cabin to help visually, hearing or mobility impaired passengers, even for flights within North America," Cathay Pacific's public relations department said in a statement to the Post. "We are very sorry for the frustrating situation that Mr and Mrs Rogen experienced, who were due to take Cathay Pacific flight CX889 ... on December 7 local time. We have extended our sincerest apologies to Mr and Mrs Rogen and will continue to further improve communication with passengers. We hope they will travel with Cathay Pacific again."

Rogen's wife did say she received a "sincere" phone call from Cathay Pacific's American division.

It seems this tale does have a happy ending, as Rogen tweeted the following this morning:

thanks @cathaypacific for your promise to change your communication with your passengers and apology. We cool? We cool.

Ironically, Cathay Pacific was just voted the world's best airline at the World Airline Awards for the fourth time in 11 years.

This isn't the first time Rogen has been unhappy with an airline and did his wife's bidding. In October of 2013, Rogen took on United Airlines.

"Hey @united! Great job f****** my wife around all day and being total d***s to her when she tried to get help!"
