Sorry; meant to add---but she's a twit for acting out in any case.

It's business class (Virgin "Upper Class"--- RT LHR - BGI is only about 2600 GBP / person--not that expensive and decidedly NOT First Class.

In Sept. 2020 Boeing announced ALL 787s would be coming from SC.

Hmm. So now using my phone, I check in and ensure seats are good, etc. Using an automated kiosk, I tag my bag. (In STT, where I fly out of normally) I carry my bag through and place it on the conveyors. With Facial Recognition, I'm allowed to move from the landside to the airside area. What's next? We're tossing our own bags into the cargo hold??

Try Air France First; it's worth every dime.

MCO might be interesting for me--I have done STT (or SJU) - DFW - HNL on AA already. Always enjoyed Hawaiian Air out of LAS at ~1am. By the time you got bags and were ready for your trip to the hotel, it was about 730am. I flew both their old 767s on that trip as well as the inaugural flight of the A330.

Good afternoon Jim: In response to the "raise the price"--there are many instances where my dog's fee is higher than some of the fares in the coach cabin. In fact--recently on Delta--one could purchase a RT Coach ticket from JFK to San Juan for $307 RT. I would pay $400 RT for the same trip (DL charges $200 each way to the Caribbean). When I fly to San Juan from ST Thomas--his fare is always more than mine--I pay between $49 and $79 each way, the dog's fee is $125 each way. --In other words, those of us that do actively pay for the privilege of bringing our pets--are paying a premium for it... Thanks. mdb.

Home is on STJOhn, USVI--so if I'm just going to PR, I'll fly Seaborne or JetBlue. Off island, American has the most flights per day, so probably 75% of the time, them--Delta would be the other 25% off further off island trips. Unless I'm flying direct to Europe--then I take a hop to ST Martin and fly either Air France or KLM direct from there.... Saves the connections in Miami, JFK, ATL, etc.

Just think of it as your face condom. It could break or let something through, but dammit, you put it on anyway just in case.

I fully support this ruling--and (full disclosure) I travel with my dog in the cabin; however, I have always paid for his ticket. I have a home in the Caribbean; thus flying is the only way to get off my little pebble in the sea from time to time. Macallan is a very well trained Westie. In lines, he'll either be at a proper heel walking position--or if we're standing--simply sitting by my side. When time to board, I simply open his bag, say "IN", and he walks in waiting for the zip to close--and he remains in the bag for 100% of the flight. We've too many times seen so-called emotional support dogs snarling and fighting with each other--snapping at other folks in line, that it is patently ridiculous. It's either a service dog--or a pet. If you want your pet to fly, pay the $250 or so round trip to do so.
