Not directed at the OP, but I am so tired of people hiding behind "disabilities". I know what is defined by the DOT and I seel how people try to milk it. If issues like anxiety are so great, perhaps one should travel by air?

I was in "F" with a "companion animal" that kept sitting on my foot for a woman with "anxiety". Little regard for my real condition of dog allergies. She didn't seem anxious at all and after a glass or two of vino told me it was how she got away with carrying her animal onboard and letting it out of her cage.

I wish those with "disabilities" would thank God they don't have disabilities and abide by the system.

The way the system is now, those with no status should count on paying extra fees. Period.
