NEW DOT RULES ON FLYING WITH ESA

As of January 11, 2021, the DOT/FAA/Airlines have Banned Emotional Support Animals from domestic flights. If you wish to fly with your Emotional Support Animal, you will have to register it as a PET - and the fees can range anywhere from $65 to $150 -- per flight. There is generally a limit to the number of PETS that are allowed on any one flight - so MAKE sure you verify with the airlines to fly with your now considered "PET".


Service Animals still fly for free! However, you must fill out several forms - submit them to the Airline - and wait for approval. Most airlines require at least 48 hours advance notice and document upload to their particular server. This is generally an involved task that is not for the faint of heart.

Specifically, the ADAAA provides that:
