I've done this a few times too.

> There’s no way to pre-register the pet.

At least on Delta, you can. You need to call the airline and arrange it.

> Oh, and to go through security, you have to take a nervous and scared cat out of their carry case in the middle of the security line, walk through the metal detector, and then they have to test both of your hands for residue while still carrying the cat.

I always refuse the normal line and get a private screening. So far I haven't had any issues doing that.

Still, it's a huge pain in the ass.

I can't remember Delta's exact policy, but if I recall correctly, you can call ahead of time but when it comes to flight day, they can still refuse you if too many pets have already checked in. Don't quote me on that though.

That's how it was before Avvinue. We just launched the world's first pet travel booking platform so that you can get your pet reserved 100% online and confirms the place on the flight so you don't have sit on hold for hours just to be denied.
