American Airlines informed me today that any service animal except for the vision impared is for emotional support and they do not have to allow it into the cabin.
The flight is from the US to Guadalajara !
The call back said get a doctors note or the animal can travel down below for $175.00 US.
I could be stuck, since my Dr. does not have an office where I am plus the airline will not take a fax or copy of a fax, plus in line with the note below I do not have the orig copy of the dogs paper work with me (I never carry my own except for my USA Passpt ).
UPDATE
Based on calls to several airlines it appears that some folks wanting to take their dogs on planes as service animals have produced their own documentation (Like prople having: Fake ID cards and Drivers Licenses and SSN Cards). Some major carriers that will permit non seeing eye dogs in the cabins want to see a copy of the dogs training record so that they can keep it on file and contact the agency.
If one cannot produce the training documents for the service dog, they want paperwork from a doctor and maybe meds that are taken for the condition, plus a 48 Hr advance notification so they can check things out for themselves. Very Interesting !
