Hi Cindy Lou,
For those with iPhones, I believe there is an app now; I believe
Portland International (PDX) has one, too, and I believe there are several
others, but I am very happy to hear our needs are bei9ng considered, as my
own dog had an accident in O'Hare, and I had done everything I had been
taught, including taking her out an extra time **when we got to my departure
airport) less than 20 minutes from my home.
Darla & Precious Roxy

There are some airports that are starting to have some relief areas in gate
areas. Mostly, though, to my knowledge those are few and far between. I only
ran into such things in Memphis.
