I've always been confused by this -- if you're allergic to dogs, and the flight is required to have a dog on it for whatever reason, is the airline then liable for any and all medical bills related to an allergic reaction after the flight? Are you not entitled to reasonable accommodation as well?
- kelnos 7y agoI'm not sure... I guess maybe it depends on how severe the allergy is and how much of an issue you make of it. For me it's not life-threatening; it just makes me uncomfortable: a little nasal congestion, and perhaps my eyes feel a little itchy. I didn't say anything on that particular flight, but perhaps if I had, they could have accommodated me somehow.
- CaptainZapp 7y agoFor me it's not life-threatening Same here. It's not life threatening. But depending on the dog it can mean real misery for an extended time. I usually have medications in my travel kit. But until a pill works it takes an hour and it can be too late. I wouldn't complain about service animals. But scumbags, who are just too cheap to pay for proper transportation of their pet severely piss me off. Thankfully it's not such a big issue in Europe.
