[nagdu] traveling through airports is getting weirder eachtime I travel

[Margo and Arrow]

Robert, all those things are true, plus, the only reason to rearrange
anything or anyone is if anything blocks an aisle or exit.

The blocking of aisle or exit is an FAA regulation, but, telling someone
they have to sit in a certain seat is against the Air Carrier Access Act and
is not an FAA regulation.

Hello All,
I flew with American to the convention, and I did not have any trouble at
all.
I have had issues with southwest before, but I solved that by telling them
that they offer open seating to the public so therefor I can choose any seat
I want and went to a seat of my choice.
I have also had issues with Delta, but the way I solved them was to let them
know, which this is actually true, and I was given this information by a
airline before, that it is illegal for the airline personel to change your
seat without your approval.

I hope this helps,

 Hey Cindy- It was united airlines.  They used to be good and now they are
becoming frustrating to deal with.

 Tina, which airline was this.  I am finding this to be a particularly big
deal with Southwest.  I am going to try to remember to carry in writing the
Air Access Act information and the airline's policy.

 Hello folks- Since I have been home from convention, I have had to travel.
 Now, traveling to my destination, was somewhat uneventful.  
Going
 through airport security was met with no problems.  However, when I  went
to my gate and presented my boarding pass, I was met with the you  and the
service dog must sit in bulkhead.  I calmly explained that it  is not
mandatory that a person with a service dog sit in the bulkhead  and there is
also no federal regulations that state that fact either.
 So, after educating the flight staff, I was able to board with no  further
complications.  Now, flying back home today, while checking in  to receive
my boarding pass, I was ask what my dog's breed was? 
I
 asked the ticket agent why was that redolent and she replied that it  was
one of the questions they are suppose to ask and then she told me  that I
have to sit in the front row  of the plane because I had a  service animal.
I informed her that I could sit anywhere on the plane  with the exception of
the exit rows and she replied that I would have to  talk to the gate agent
about that.  What is going on here?
 Tina
