In reply to Arnold Goldstein. It does not sound like your ESA is a PSD - a PSD must be specifically trained to perform a job or task relating to a psychiatric disability.

My dog has been an ESA but when my wife colapsed I diabetic coma he stayed by her side and barked until I woke up and found her to call .911. Does that qualify him as a PSD?

In reply to Desire. Unfortunately no, rabbits are not allowed to travel in the cabin as ESAs.

Are ESA Bunnies accepted if trained? Mine helps with my panic attacks when traveling and because I can’t drive due to my severe anxiety I take airplanes and trains when visiting family or on vacation.

There are so many people that suffer and struggle with disabilities from within, it cannot be seen like a physical disability!
Having an emotional support animal brings comfort and happiness, more than one knows especially now through this dire time with this pandemic!
It’s not good for a lot of people, suffering mentally/ emotionally with the new DOT rules, it’s the travelers with the ESA’s are being punished! Mental illness is a disease, why doesn’t the DOT seem acknowledge that?

In reply to Ana Julia Sandoval Mesta. That should not be the case, the new DOT rules specifically allow for PSD to board flights free of charge. We suggest speaking to another representative at the airline.

Many airlines are now denying and charging people with esa 100 or more to fly with thier esa . After 2021 these following American, southwest, frontier and other airlines are saying esa are not service animals and are pets. Even if a medical dr has prescribed one for a person with a mental disability. We need to take legal actions

In reply to Mekbib Kebede. Airlines will not let an ESA board if it is too large - you should check with your airline to see what their rules are.
