Feds announce new guidelines for service and emotional support animals on planes
Airlines are prohibited from banning specific breeds of dogs on board flights as service or emotional support animals, the US Transportation Department said Thursday, amid controversy over safety and passengers abusing the policies for emotional support animals. The guidelines outlined by department officials appear to invalidate a recently-announced Delta Air Lines policy barring "pit bull type dogs" from traveling as service or emotional support animals.

I still want my emotional support doobies.
If an animal can curl up at your feet, whether horse, dog, or cat, then I don't have a problem with them flying. I can't comment on the ability of a horse or cat holding their bowels until a flight is over. Of course, babies can't control their bowels and they're allowed to fly. Most dogs can be trained in bowel control. Obviously a service animal can't be in an exit row. It's a matter of accommodation. I can't have peanuts if someone seated next to me is allergic to them. It's just one of those things.
So the airlines can just trample on the ADA act and make there own judement.
Did you know s service dog can be trained by the individual??..

Absolutely, they make special aircraft for all those farm type animals, they are called live cargo flights? Just “pony “ up the greenbacks? LOL
What I want to know is, what rights do I have as someone who has been afraid of dogs his entire life? (An attack when 2 years old has left lifelong scars that, at 40, have never completely healed). Do I have to be forced to sit next to someone's dog for a flight of multiple hours, which would make me very, very uncomfortable to say the least?
To put it mildly, if someone told me that I have to sit next to a big dog for a long flight, I couldn't do it. No how, no way.

And what about those who are allergic to dogs or cats?
The allergy question is very interesting. Where does one's right to board with an animal vs the expectation of a guest with a moderate to severe allergy that the environment of an aircraft cabin is generally not a animal allergen high risk zone. Another travel industry: Generally speaking hotels who have guests with animals in a room are required or should notify the next guest that an animal was present before them unless the room is deep cleaned between guests (Rare) Maybe someone should add Epi-Pens to the pre-flight checklist. At least smoking can cause problems over time. An allergic reaction can be immediately life threatening.
