[nagdu] Airlines asking for a dog's weight.

[Deanna Lewis]

Daryl,
Every time I reply to you, I want to call you Jenny! I guess when you have a dog with a person's name that happens a lot /smiles/.
If the airline asks this so  that they can provide an extra seat, do they then charge you for that seat? I wouldn't be surprised. Some airport transportation services, like Super Shuttle have tried to charge for two seats if you have a guide dog with you.
Oh, and yes, I did get the Pawz booties. Thanks so much!
Deanna and Pascal

Deanna,

Depending on the airline, they may ask this so that they can provide an extra seat for your guide.  Airlines also have limits to the amount of service dogs they carry on planes.  One airline asked for Jenny's measurements for this reason; another asked, but didn't seem to have a reason.

p.s. Did the PAWZ arrive yet?

Hi,
What is the point in an airline asking for your guide/service dog's weight? Do all airlines do that now?
I haven't been asked this yet, but I just wonder in case it does happen.
Thanks!
Deanna and Pascal
