Furry fliers find relief at Oklahoma airports

Remember when you fly if you have connecting flights to meet and some business to do at a specific time, be sure to take some precautions against loosing your seat to a therapy animal. It happened to me the first time this year as I was informed by Delta they could not confirm my seat. It was really frustrating as I just wanted them to tell me whether or not I had a seat. They refused to tell me and said to just show up at the gate and hope someone didn't show up with a therapy animal. So when I got there a lady was standing with a golden retriever with a large sign that read, "Therapy animal". So I was thinking how i was going to shift my schedule and put everything late. My line somehow moved faster and I was able to get to the agent ahead of the lady with the dog. I got the ticket and had 10 minutes to get on the flight. I did some checking and a friend told me to tell Delta I had a handicap and they would not bump me on the next flight. It seems one handicapped person cannot bump another one but they can bump a non-handicapped person from any U.S. flight per federal regulations. I'm an understanding person about disabilities and rights and all that stuff but this was a new one to me. To not confirm a seat and tell someone to just wait at the gate until 15 minutes to push off seemed a stretch. Its why I don't fly unless I absolutely have to. By the way one friend told me when I booked a flight the next time to call Delta's special services desk and tell them I had a severe fur and dander allergy. She said that if I got a ticket booked ahead of someone with an animal that they would put the same restrictions on the flight as they do with peanut allergies.
Something to think about when you fly the unfriendly skies these days.
