Holcomb was on his way back in April to Austin from Las Vegas after celebrating his birthday, but had a connecting flight in Phoenix.
He says he had an allergic reaction to a support dog belonging to another passenger.
American Airlines, in a statement, says it makes accommodations for dogs
American makes every effort to accommodate all passengers, including those traveling with and seated near service or support animals, a statement read.
Holcomb says the passenger offered to switch seats but after no one volunteered, a flight attendant and a pilot got involved.
Holcomb says he questioned why he had to move to the back of the plane.
At that point (workers) told him youre going to go to the rear of the plane or get off the plane,McKamie said.
Holcomb was taken off the plane after employees say he was confrontational, a claim he denies.

End self defense and travel, you turn citizens into slaves.
“Support animals” are house pets. They can stay at home, or be boarded in a kennel, or ride in the baggage compartment. There is no need for them in the passenger cabin.

barking up the wrong tree with the racism lawsuit.
Good observation. but everything is racism now days...........
Even if an animal is not on the plane, there can be plenty of dander. Anyone with a pet can have it on their clothing and/or bags.
As an aside, I would be more than willing to pay for a seat for my hypo-allergenic dog and have him in a kennel, if airlines would do so. I would far rather have a contained, likely, sleeping dog near me, than a many other types of passengers. I just don’t fly anymore unless absolutely necessary.
Fake service animals are now a thing because people have figured out they can take their pet without having to pay cargo fees and the airlines are too fearful of “disability “ litigation to say no.
How is the airline responsible for a planeload of racist passengers who would not give up their seat?
Part serious, part /s
Race baiting...
...or...
Idiotic support animal cupcake.
I cant figure out who to cheer for here...
American Airlines passengers shock as traveller takes miniature HORSE onto flight
Seems to me she would be better off with an emotional support personal physical trainer...
...but that's just me.
that seems to be the general trajectory.
All animals inside the confined space of an airline cabin should be muzzled.
