I have never traveled with my dog (a Westie) before and am thinking of doing so for an upcoming flight on American Airlines.
I've read AA's pet policies and understand there is a 20 pound weight limit (for the pet + carrier).
The one thing their site didn't elaborate on is what the procedure is for the day of travel. We never check bags, so I'm wondering if you are traveling with a pet, do you still have to go through the ticketing process at the terminal, or can you go directly through security?
I'm asking because, while I haven't weighed my pup yet, I'm guessing he'll be closer to 22-23 pounds. Do they actually weigh the carrier?
Thanks.
