[NAGDU] Experiences and Recommendations for Flying

[mike michaelhingson.com]

I fly American regularly. Once you complete the form which is available online, you are registered in their system and need not complete the form again for one or two years. I can't recall the exact time period. I do find flying with American easy.


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hi, Sherry and all.


Has anyone used American Airlines, and what was your experience with them?

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!

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?
