Pet Travel Bags

Info GREATLY appreciated! I have question on pets (cat) going thru security at airport?

Ok guys….. I have heard from a few of you regarding your personal opion, and appreciate your personal wisdom. However, I would greatly appreciate any feedback from experienced traveler w/ pet, Gov’t. Airport Security Agent or Airline Employee.

You can travel with a child on your lap for free until they are 2 (maybe 3 if they are small), but it cost $90.00 one way ($180.00 round trip) to bring a small cat in a soft sided, pet travel bag as my carry on for a one segment, 1 1/2 hr. flight.
Seriously, for $20.00 he could have his own ticketed seat.

My question: When going through Airport security, officials are require to look at your ticket and ID. When you have a pet w/ you, do they look for a “special” marking on my ticket that designates I have already made arrangements & paid the airline or do the care?

When I moved from South Florida to Seattle I traveled with my ferrets as carry on via Delta. My dog and cats were in cargo. I didn’t have a ticket but after I paid I did have this paper that showed which pets were traveling and that they’d verified that I’d provided a medical certificate for them. They did look at it. They also made me remove the ferrets so they could look inside the container. You never know when a ferret might be smuggling a gun or drugs!!!

FYI – don’t complain about $180 for the cat. My Newf/Lab cost me nearly $600 – my ticket was only $325 lol
