Flying with a Service Dog in 2021 | New US DOT Rules

Starting January 11, 2021, new DOT rules will be in effect for flying with service animals in the US. These rules are based on the Air Carrier Access Act, or ACAA. The ACAA covers air travel and protections for disabled people while on airplanes, while the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers general public access and airport access. There have been some significant changes since the previous ruling, and this video covers the most substantial differences to keep in mind. If you are planning to fly with a service dog or fly with an emotional support animal (ESA) in the US in the future, airlines will use the ACAA and this new ruling to make their assistance animal policies. Have you ever flown with a service animal or ESA? What was your experience like? What did you think about the old ruling and the changes in the new one? Let me know in the comments below!
