American Airlines is banning emotional-
support animals in a move that will force most
owners to pay extra if they want their pets to
travel with them.
The airline said that it will allow animals in the
cabin free of charge only if they are trained
service dogs. The change takes effect Monday,
although passengers who already bought tickets
can fly with a companion animal until Feb. 1.
The move follows a similar decision by Alaska
Airlines and is likely to be copied by other
carriers. The U.S. Transportation Department
cleared the way for the crackdown against
companion animals last month.
