Two things that don't need to be on airplanes; pets and young children. If you can't travel without them that's your problem. Others shouldn't have to suffer.

The sad part is those poor dogs dont have anywhere to relieve themselves. Hell, the bathrooms arent big enough for humans..I would think thats too long for animals. But dont agree with them being stuck under the belly. Seen it and its not good. Lose cabin pressure and they die

itspeyreno rip to benji going on a plane with you

Stop the doctors that hand these out left and right. Every animal should have the doctors name and phone number on their vest.

It's all about money, because you can still purchase a ticket for your Pet, on flights under 8 hrs, so by limiting the age of legal Service or Emotional Support Animals.. these people are forced to buy tickets. There will still be Animals on flights.

Good, its got out of hand!

'Emotional Support Animal' can somebody explain me what the fuck is that and why is it a term?

Good. Emotional support animals are a joke. They give real service animals a bad name.

I doubt this will stand up in Court if they deny someone with a legal Service Dog over the age of 4 months. This will give other Airlines more business.

They should ban realDonaldTrump supporters, they are the exact same except on 2 legs. At least the 4 legged dogs won't pee on your feet.

thanks people that have an 'emotional support dog' now people with real medical conditions cant travel.

Emotional support animals is stupid.

Airlines can do whatever they want and they will not lose business. If you need to fly at a certain time and they’re the only airline that meets that need, you’re going to use them whether or not you can take your emotional support aardvark or not.

My view on this is probably tainted by the fact that two people where I work are scamming the system with their 'emotional support dog' when really all they wanted to do was bring their pet to work.

Another reason not to fly with them. Happy Holidays.

Who wants to be in a closed space for a long period of time with a dog? Everyone isn't a dog person. I don't want to be on a flight with a dog. Sorry not sorry.

They will be feeling a pinch in their pocketbook very soon.

That's because it's an airline, not an ark

Finally common sense...Everyone these days seems to use this a a crutch to bring their pet along.

Bad news for the snowflakes still pouring after the 2016 election

This is sad and I feel that people who truly need a service animal are the ones that are going to be punished, this will effect them the most. There are so many people who abuse this privilege and it's because of them that this is happening.

they should ban all of them always

I guess I'm never using Delta Air Lines again. I can't go on a plane without my support 6yo Giant Alaskan Malamute. This is discrimination.

I think that it is illegal to ban a service dog from ANY place (except, perhaps) an OR.

Note that the 8 hour limit won’t affect most flights to Western Europe.

It should only before for canines for it has really gotten out of hand.

blame the peacock and squirrel owners.

Thank God...

As someone who has chronic PTSD and is violently allergic to dogs, thank you.

other airlines should PR their allowance for these small animals.. // sell their options..

Guess too many people over use that service who don't really need it. Too bad!

Amen!
