Well I can tell you what happens if you get caught because it happened to me. The gate agent asked if I had my boarding pass for my pet. I acted confused and she just told me to go pay it at the counter right at the gate. I did not miss my flight or delay it. I just simply had to pay it and was humiliated. My husband boarded right before me with our other dog and he got away it. You don't get arrested, pay major fines, etc - it's not a crime, it's an extra fee. Just thought you should hear from someone with first hand experience of getting caught. I wanted to pay but my husband did not and I was the one that got caught - go figure! Good Luck! |
