A man calls up wanting to book a flight and hotel to Monterrey California. It's a beautiful scenic area. He has specific flights and a specific hotel he wants to book.
I get all the way through the reservation and give him the trip ID number. Reservation complete. Then he asks me how he goes about traveling with a very tiny poodle. Well, first you would need to contact the airlines to be sure they will permit pets and even if they do there are only so many allowed in the cabin. Then he drops the next bomb.
"Oh, I didn't notice whether or not the hotel accepts pets. I just figured I would book the reservation, cause you know, It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
Are you serious? Just because you have a reservation does not obligate the airline and especially the hotel to allow you to use their services. You could conceivably find yourself out the cost of the package you just booked. And guess what? We will not go to bat for you. If the airline doesn't allow pets or if you get to your hotel and they will not take pets, well, too bad.
Your little flash of defiance may cost you. Dearly.
