Got Pet Allergies?

Under recently revised FAA guidelines, airline passengers who rely on cats, monkeys and certain other animals for emotional support may soon be able to bring their fluffy loved ones into an airliners cabin. Previously, permission for pets to ride in the cabin was only given to animals that helped people with physical disabilities.

Transportation Department officials say these animals are used for a wider variety of functions, such as helping to pull wheelchairs or alerting a person with epilepsy that a seizure is imminent.

Animals such as snakes, ferrets, rodents and spiders are still considered a safety risk and will not be allowed in the cabin.
