AI-generated image of a woman preparing to board a flight with her dog.

My dog was approved to fly in-cabin, but at the airport they rejected the carrier and denied boarding. What are my options?

You planned ahead and got confirmation that your dog was approved to fly in-cabin. It felt like everything was set...until you arrive at the airport, and suddenly none of that seems to matter. The agent takes one glance at your carrier and says it doesn’t meet requirements. Luckily, this situation isn’t as uncommon as it feels, and you still have options to deal with it.
