Emotional Support Alligators
I demand they raise the roof to accommodate my full sized service giraffe. Can’t have him getting neck cramps on the flight.
“Well, Id think they would have to plane side check the horse in that case.”
And that’s the reality of the stupidity. If they are allowed, and they are, to bring the large animal on to the actual seating areas, this is where the headache begins.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) used to allow each airline to decide if they will allow you to travel with your pet in the passenger cabin. With this ruling, there is going to be a problem with animal size in this case. If an airline does allow you to bring your pet into the cabin, you consider your pet container to be carry-on baggage and you must follow all carry on baggage rules (14 CFR part 121, section 121.589):
Your pet container must be small enough to fit underneath the seat without blocking any person’s path to the main aisle of the airplane.
Your pet container must be stowed properly before the last passenger entry door to the airplane is closed in order for the airplane to leave the gate.
Your pet container must remain properly stowed the entire time the airplane is moving on the airport surface, and for take off and landing.
You must follow flight attendant instructions regarding the proper stowage of your pet container.
These rules still apply because they are safety and security issues consistent with flying airlines, so it is going to be interesting how each airline handles “big Brother’s” determination.

Heres a concept. Leave the pets at home.
My wife and I were at a higher end airport lounge this week, and two dogs came past us. The handler for the one I took note of was an athletic lady, probably 45, with a similar guy. Both were in jogging attire and neither appeared to have any issues.
They just wanted to bring their pet on the plane. Emotional support animals should be banned. If you cant handle a plane ride without your pet, you have issues to big to allow on a plane.
I wonder how feasible it would be for the airlines to designate flights as “service” animal friendly and no “service” animals allowed. At least then the people who don’t want to fly with animals in the cabin would have an option if they booked their flight soon enough to get a seat.
Yeah.
No kidding.
“I demand they raise the roof to accommodate my full sized service giraffe. Cant have him getting neck cramps on the flight”
If they don’t accommodate my service dolphin with a saltwater tank, I will sue them for every penny they have.
