Flying to NYC with Nuts! ✈️ AA Guide + JFK + Historic Hotel

Hey everyone! NutsMom’s Winter NYC Trip is officially on! 🗽 This time, we flew from LAX to JFK with Nuts and stayed in a stunning 100+ year-old hotel. Here’s the scoop on flying with a service dog, airport transport, and lodging — all the deets you need! 🐶 Part 1: Flying with a Service Dog (AA) We flew American Airlines — great experience! ✅ Pre-Flight: Submit service dog documents online in advance for approval. 💺 Seat Perk: Once approved, they often assign the best seats (like bulkhead or extra-legroom) so your pup can stretch out. 🛡️ Security Tip: Avoid clothes with metal clips — if the scanner doesn’t beep, your dog can walk right through without a stressful pat-down! 🐕 Airport Relief: Use the Pet Relief Area before boarding. 🚕 Part 2: JFK Airport $$ Saver Hack (Save $50+) Don’t call Uber/Lyft right outside the terminal — it’s pricey and traffic-heavy! ✅ Smart Route: Take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, go downstairs, and order your ride from there. 💰 Result: Saved over $50 — that’s a nice meal right there! 🍽️ 🏨 Part 3: Staying in 100-Year-Old NYC (The Beekman) 📍 Location: Near Wall Street & WTC — super convenient. ✨ Vibe: This iconic hotel wows with its 9-story historic atrium — so photogenic! 🛏️ Room Note: Rooms are cozy (no upgrades in peak season), classic but clean. 💁 Service: Among the best in U.S. hotels — service truly shines here! 💳 Price Tip: December rates exceed $1000/night — use Hyatt points to maximize value! 📌 NutsMom’s Travel Tips: 🎫 Book flights 1 month ahead for better prices. 🧥 Bundle up! NYC in December is cold — pack warm layers and comfy shoes for all the walking. 👇 Next Up: NYC Attractions — the hits and misses! #TravelWithPets #NYCtrip #JFKtips #HistoricHotels #ServiceDogTravel #NYCwinter #TravelHacks #NYClife
