In related news, Southwest Airlines in January put emotional support animals on their no-fly list. The airline was one of the last among the nation’s six largest airlines to change the rules about animals traveling onboard the flight. The new rule stated that any pet that would be brought on board would have to be kept in a carrier, one that would fit under the seats inside the flight.
It was also reported that many passengers misused the regulations regarding animals that are emotionally supportive. Turns out many used this rule to get out of paying the extra fee that was required to fly one's pets. So with the change of the rule, passengers will be able to fly their pets, but for a cost and only if they meet all the other requirements.
However, the airlines said that it will let passengers bring trained service dogs in the cabin. The rules were brought into action as of March 1. It was also on Southwest Airlines recently that a woman who had not worn her mask was removed from the plane. The video of the incident went viral on TikTok as other passengers onboard the flight applauded the airline for removing the woman without the mask. The video also saw the woman try to argue with the staff about not following rules, but the passengers did not let her.
