No More Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) for Free on All Major US Airlines

1/9/2021

0 Comments

 

All the major US airlines will stop taking bookings for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) by March 1st.

The United States' largest air carriers will no longer allow passengers to bring an Emotional Support Animal onboard for free.  They include:
  • Alaska
  • American
  • Delta
  • JetBlue
  • Southwest
  • United
Going forward, passengers will have to pay a fee for carry-on or cargo stowage for all pets except trained service dogs.  Access each respective airline's website for complete details.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): 
  • Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.  Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.
  • Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

Alaska Airlines First to Ban Emotional Support Animals

1/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Alaska Airlines will ban emotional support animals (ESAs) for all bookings made Jan. 11 or later.

In addition, the carrier will prohibit ESAs, even for bookings that have already been made, for all flights beginning March 1. 

Alaska is the first US carrier to announce such restrictions following the FAA's change in regulations in December 2020 that now requires airlines to only permit legal service dogs (those specifically trained to perform a task for a person with a physical or mental disability).
