As more people get a COVID-19 vaccine, we could see an increase in travel just in time for the summer vacation season. But those who plan to fly with a furry friend may find rules have changed since their last trip.
Earlier this year, multiple airlines announced a ban on emotional support animals. This news came after the U.S. Department of Transportation declared that emotional support animals would no longer be considered service animals, leading to a widespread crackdown.
Emotional support animals, previously ticketed and able to board with their owners, may instead have to fly in cargo. Service dogs can continue to ride by the traveler’s side for free, but airlines can require forms that attest to the animal’s health, behavior and training.
