Pet check-in?
Apologies if this has been posted (couldn't find it by searching...)
I went to check in at CO.com for a EWR-ATL flight this afternoon, and saw a hyperlink labeled "Add Pet(s)" under the Passengers section of the itinerary (under "View/Change Seat" and "Edit traveler information"). I can't recall seeing that link before.
Clicking on it brings up the following:
Add Pet
Continental allows domesticated cats, dogs, pet rabbits and household birds to be carried in the aircraft cabin on all domestic flights (except to/ from Hawaii).
Pet Advisories
See our Pet Travel Policy for a complete listing of restrictions and details.
Only one pet per passenger is allowed in cabin.
Only one pet is allowed in the First or BusinessFirst cabin except on Boeing 777 aircraft and two pets in Economy.
No in cabin pets are allowed in the BusinessFirst cabin of Boeing 777 aircraft with the exception of service animals.
Only soft-sided kennels will be accepted on Boeing 767 aircraft. The kennel must not exceed 16" L x 12" W x 8.75" H) and must fit underneath the seat.
Pets must be carried in an approved in cabin kennel. The pet must be able to move comfortably in the kennel (stand up and turn around). The kennel must fit completely under the seat forward of the customer and remain there at all times aboard the aircraft.
Pet must remain in the kennel at all times aboard the aircraft.
Maximum kennel dimensions are: 22" L x 14" W x 9" H (56 cm L x 36 cm W x 23 cm H).
In-cabin pets are not counted as part of your free baggage allowance and are subject to an $80.00 service charge each way ($160.00 for round trip travel).
Pets under 8 weeks old are not permitted.
Pet must travel on the same flight as the owner.
Then there's a drop-down box where you can select 0,1, or 2 in-cabin pets.
Is this new?

I checked in online last week when I was traveling with my cat and did not notice the pet option.
This must be something new--probably to avoid people slipping by without paying for a pet-in-cabin. No one has ever checked for evidence of payment beyond check-in.
Was there a place to enter a record locater # for the pet? Our cat always gets his own record locater when I make his reservation.
