How do airlines handle the situation of people with life-threatening pet allergies being seated near people with service animals?
- crazygringo 7y agoFrom a quick Google search, there doesn't appear to be medical evidence of any life-threatening allergies to pets like dogs. That also apparently hasn't stopped people from claiming they have one, however.
- curiouscrow 7y agoCat dander can and will affect certain people pretty badly.
- egwynn 7y agoI also did some googling and reached broadly the same conclusion as you. However I don’t know that I’d use the word "any”. It sounds like life-threatening animal allergies are, at the very least, much rarer than life-threatening food / medicine allergies. Though I wasn’t super satisfied with any of the sources I found, so I’d love to see some data about it.
- moate 7y agoI would imagine they ask if anyone is willing to trade seats or move them to an unoccupied seat.
