Eleanor,
While I have every sympathy for the lady in this case, Easy jet were following
the rules and indeed the CAA guidelines on assistance dog travel, so by rights
the traveller needs to have the necessary paperwork confirming their dog is a
trained assistance dog for the safety of all concerned. Easy jet have a duty
of care to all their travellers, and the same goes for any other airline, so if
you take your guide dog identity card and pet vet book with you whenever you
travel, you should be absolutely fine.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Barry Moderator
I do hope you do not mind me posting this link here for the list as I am a
guide dog owner travelling to Ireland on Wednesday and read this story just now
after my friend in Lisbern drew it to my attention.
