Most of the animals flying are just pets. Many airlines allow small pets in the cabin; there is no requirement for them to be service animals.

- jaredklewis 7y agoThat's true, however, I think most airlines (for sure, Delta, AA, United, Jet Blue, Alaska, and Southwest): 1. Require non-service pets to be kept inside a carrier for the duration of the flight. 2. Charge customers that bring a pet, whereas service animals fly free. I've seen a few non-service pets on flights, but I've seen service pets far more frequently (based on the fact that they were not in carriers).

- scruple 7y agoThey also limit the number of pets per flight. Or, they used to. Once it became fashionable to pretend pets are service animals my wife and I opted to drive or not bring the dogs with us, so I'm not sure if those rules still exist but I would assume they do. Prior to that it was actually great. Most people rarely even knew they were with us. Oh well.
