Demonstration content. I gave the airline more notice than the stated minimum for travelling with my guide dog, and it made check-in much smoother on the day.

I also checked the relief area arrangements at both the departure and arrival airports beforehand, since these vary a lot between airports.

Always confirm current requirements directly with your airline and the specific airports, as policies can change.
