A lot of airlines are no longer allowing service or pet animals in main cabin. Not sure what this falls into. True Service dogs are NOT the same as a pet or emotional support animal and are allowed in the cabin. Some restrictions on size and location of a Service Dog on the plane and a form may be required, but they are allowed IF they are a true Service dog. DOT INFORMATION

I’ve already booked two “Animal In Cabin” reservations on WestJet in July. It’s easy, you immediately become the dog’s hero and it makes your heart grow two sizes.

And this is a result of the new DOT rules and regulations I posted a few posts back. It is not a particular airline doing this as there are new DOT regulations going into effect which they will follow.

Huh?? More restrictions? Or are you talking about the fake ESA crap?? Probably the new DOT regulations. I have posted them multiple times, I am sure ALL airlines will have no choice but to follow them. I doubt it is inherent to any individual US carrier but some are not getting that point. DETAILS AA for Service ESA Policy ChangesWith the main change: Animals that previously traveled as emotional support animals and no longer qualify as service animals may travel as carry-on pets or as cargo pets, as long as they meet the requirements.AA Service and ESA Rules Starts Feb. 1.

...none of which would have anything to do with the pups in question, one would think, as they would be small enough to fit in a carrier under the seat...

Of course, that has always been the case, hasn't it? Under the seat is like $100 one way, always has been, as far as I know.

No idea on that. Never flown a pet but have seen more than a fair number of the fake service dogs (ESA) flying in the past and likely for free.

Pets flying as pets have always had a pretty substantial cost, and the people involved with this project said up front that all the costs were being paid by the organization. Fake service dogs is a whole 'nother subject, of people gaming the system.

Rescue agencies have been sending pups off island for many years to many countries. They have it down to a science, they know what they are doing. The receiving party pays all expenses for transport. After Irma there was a HUGE airlift of several hundred dogs to rescue centers in the US. Several of our friends and neighbors take pups with them. when they leave.

And again, this is due to DOT changes and are not airline specific.
