Travelling With a Service Animal

If you plan to fly with your service animal during your trip to Ski for Light, please be aware that all U.S. airlines now require that a U. S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Transportation Form be submitted to them at least 48 hours before your flight. Each airline has it’s own procedures for how and when you provide this information to them, so be sure to review the specific requirements and procedures for your airline using the links below.

Each airline has a disability services hotline phone number, below, that can help you understand and manage the process. That same phone number is also helpful in making sure that any assistance you have requested, such as meet and assist service, is in your record. Many people flying with a service animal also use these hotlines to get advanced priority seating for them and their guide dog, which can make your travel experience better.
