People with disabilities need to have their service animals with them at all times, even in flights. In the case of emotional support animals and pets, the circumstances differ.

However, as a traveling person who’s allergic to animals, what should you do on a flight to avoid an allergic reaction?

Be sure to tell the crew member or the airport desk about your health situation. It is the airline’s responsibility to put their customer’s welfare first. If you happen to seat near a person with a pet, either you or that person with the disability will be moved further away.

Ross Feinstein of American Airlines said that for an allergic customer, the airline will “separate the customer with the allergy as far apart as possible from the customer with the cabin pet.”
