US plans limits for 'emotional support' animals on flights

The US is seeking to limit the kinds of animals that airlines must allow on board for free.

It said the plan is a response to concerns that increasing passengers are falsely claiming pets as"service animals".Among other changes, the proposal would mean that so-called emotional support animals are no longer entitled to the same rights as"service animals". "Airlines want all passengers and crew to have a safe and comfortable flying experience, and we are confident the proposed rule will go a long way in ensuring a safer and healthier experience for everyone," said Nicholas Calio, president of industry lobby Airlines for America.

In the US, passengers attempting to bring turkeys, peacocks and squirrels inside plane cabins in recent years have drawn attention to the issue and prompted some airlines to tighten their rules on their own.with frogs, ferrets, hedgehogs and goats, even if they are therapy animals.

They rejected my cat. Now looking for a forever home.

Do they seriously expect me to sit on a 10 hour flight without my emotional support wolverine?

Common sense at last from the US. I hope UK follows suit.

So glad I gave up flying a year and a half ago.

Travelling without ones comfort peacock is most troubling.

Taking Peacock feathers indoors is meant to bring bad luck I thought. So not a good choice of beast.

About time if you need the emotional support of a animal rather than family,friend or professional to fly? Then don't fly

So I can't bring my emotional support cobra? Fascists

Excellent start!
