Hopefully this is not going to be one of those trips. American Airlines already having issues with baby's information. Had to sit on hold for 45 minutes this morning, so that I could verify TSA information.

And they wonder why travelers get frustrated and end up driving instead. Sorry to hear you are getting the run-around. Somehow I don't see Zippy as a threat on the plane. Safe travels M family!!
