Can airlines deny a service animal carriage if a passenger has allergies?

Question: Can airlines deny a service animal carriage if a passenger has allergies?

Answer: No. The inconvenience of other passengers such as allergies is not sufficient grounds to deny a service animal carriage in the cabin. However, airlines are not required to ask other passengers to relinquish space that they would normally use in order to accommodate a service animal.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
