Flying with Your Emotional Support Dog
The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) permits individuals with emotional support dogs to bring them on airplanes. To do so, travelers need to provide the airline with a written note from a doctor or mental health professional dated within the past year. Additionally, the emotional support dog must be trained to behave properly in public. There is no extra fee for traveling with an emotional support dog. It’s important to inform the airline 48 hours before your flight to ensure the necessary arrangements can be made.
Airline Forms
Recently, some airlines have started requiring passengers traveling with Emotional Support Animals to submit an additional form signed by a therapist along with the ESA letter. So it is best that you check with your airline before traveling.
When you apply for your ESA letter or renew one, one airline form will be provided at no additional cost. Additional airline forms, because you are traveling in different airlines, can have a package for 3 letters wherein you will receive 3 airline forms. Any additional forms requested at any time after the letters and forms are written will incur an administrative fee.
