Anyone flown domestically with a puppy in the cabin lately? Was just told by United that they won't take a dog in the cabin that is less than 4 months old. I have a new pup in Montana I need to pick up.

has to be small enuf to travel in a small crate - i believe delta has the most liberal policy on this

Thanks, Butch.
Checked with Delta and booked my flights after I posted this. Delta turned out to be the easiest of those I checked....United, American, Alaska.

All they want is a health certificate showing all the shots, etc., and require that the dog & crate are small enough to fit under the seat in front of you.

try Allegant Airlines, my wife took her dog and they gave him own seat to sit on next to her

WSJ had a story a few days ago that said Dept of Trans is considering allowing emotional support animals to be banned from airline cabins. One advocacy for the disabled said they supported the ban, as some emotional support animals have acted hostile to service dogs.

I don't have a problem with puppies personally, but having had to watch a bulldog shit (diarrhea) twice in the aisle next to me is enough for me to favor the ban myself.

True service dogs? Not a problem. They are trained to behave.

Oh for the love of Dog. Air travel is awful enough as it is.
