While airlines are required to allow service animals on their flights, they have the right to deny other animals from boarding a plane. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allows each airline to decide if they allow pets in the cabin, an FAA spokesperson said. If an airline does let pets in the cabin, the pet carrier must meet FAA carry-on baggage requirements. Any pet that flies in the cabin must therefore be small enough to fit into an appropriately sized container. Any larger pet would have to fly in the cargo hold, should an airline allow it. Other than these few rules, each airline is free to set its own policy for pets, the Department of Transportation (DOT) says. VERIFY reached out to each of the seven largest U.S. airlines to ask if they have an internal “no-fly list” for individual pets. Southwest confirmed it does not have a formal no-fly list for pets. United declined to comment. American, Delta, Alaska, Spirit and JetBlue did not reply by publishing time.
