[NAGDU] Experiences and Recommendations for Flying

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi Lisa,

I flew United back in February, and it was so easy. Once you make your reservation, there's a link to the form. It's a nice, screen reader friendly HTML form, no PDF, and if you have United mileage program, the form is good for a year. My best friend just got tickets from southwest to come for a visit, and apparently, they don't have an online form, asked him to fill it out, print it out and take the paper copy with him to the airport. He doesn't own a printer, so that's a pain. But several guide dog handlers I know have flown Southwest recently and weren't asked for the forms at all. I think all the airlines handle this differently, which makes the process more confusing. Good luck!

Hi, all.


That time we all hate has come.  I'm in the process of retiring my current dog.  I've already got a home for her, but it is several states away, so flying is the only option.


I haven't flown since 2019, so the new rules and regulations weren't in place.  I simply booked a flight, had my ID and my dog's ID and a health certificate and had no issues.


Now I know I need to fill out these numerous forms.


Which airline is less bureaucratic and easier to deal with? Also, how does the paperwork go if purchasing through a site like Travelosity? Would it be less stressful to purchase and deal directly with an airline?    How are situations handled if switching airlines?  I mean flying on a commuter airline from a smaller airport and then catching another flight on a larger, different airline?


Depending on circumstances, this might happen as soon as late October, so I guess that factors in to the mix, too.


Thanks in advance for any opinions and

info.
