In this episode, we're joined by Alexandra LeBron, Special Assistant Attorney General and author of “Travel Regulations for Service Animals, Emotional Support Animals, and Pets.” Alexandra breaks down the often confusing world of travel laws for animal companions—clarifying the key differences between pets, emotional support animals, and service animals.
Tune in to learn:
Why your emotional support peacock probably won’t make it onto your next flight
The two questions airlines are allowed to ask about your service dog
What counts as a service animal under both the ACAA and ADA
Airline-specific rules from the “Big Four” (Delta, American, United, and Southwest)
Whether your hotel has to accept your miniature horse (yes, really!)
Alexandra also offers tips for avoiding travel hiccups, like submitting paperwork on time and managing expectations for in-flight space. If you travel with a furry (or hoofed) companion or represent clients who do, this episode is a must-listen.
