SWA doesn’t carry live cargo, so we’ll probably continue to carry Rocco, the Emotional Support Pitbull in the cabin next to the terrified toddler.

Hello, guys! Sorry for a stupid question, but what is the general situation with ESAs now? Is it possible to travel with them without sending the animal to the luggage section?
|
Has to be in a carrier under the seat and pay the pet fee if applicable I think
|
Depends on the airline, but the only safe bet is either a legit service dog (not ESA), or small dog or cat in a carrier which is small enough to carry on.

Too bad out the miniature horses

You mean my emotional support porcupine cannot be brought on board? I always insist my seeing eye lion be with me. You should have seen the look on first officers’ faces though the years.

Well the horses are real, and not emotional support, but… yeah…

Yes, they're real service animals. I'm just wondering "why"?
for people with Dog allergies? |
The idea behind the service miniature horse is lifespan.
It takes years to train a dog to be a true service dog and then you only get 7 or 8 years of service with them. A miniature horse can live 25 years. |
Person with an ESA: Oh my god. Life is hard. People give my anxiety. I can’t leave the house.
Also person with an ESA: I think I’ll fly across the country in a man-made machine dodging thunderstorms with a hundred people surrounding me. |

i dunno. I think the horses are very perceptive of human behavior changes and could also be helpful for their sturdiness with people having mobility issues. There is this lady in my hood with cerebral palsy that uses a massive Great Dane to help her walk without a walker (useful in a city that is very often not ADA compliant).

Poodles. But I guess mobility would benefit from a larger animal. A standard poodle is not small, but it's not a horse either.
That makes some sense. But not on airplanes. My aunt and uncle bred miniature horses for a while. Very interesting little things! |

I know that some initiatives online, like The ESA Registration of America, help to obtain the ESA letter online that is intended for traveling. But it still depends on the airline's conditions because ESAs are not considered service animals officially. Is it possible to travel somewhere in the US with my cat in my hands in the main plane’s space? I have never seen that, but if it is possible, then that would be cool.
