Service Animal Policy

Service Animal Policy (14 CFR 382.55)

An animal may accompany a customer with a disability in the aircraft cabin, provided the animal can be accommodated without obstructing an aisle or other area used for emergency evacuations. If a service animal is disruptive or too large to fit under the seat or at the passenger's feet without encroaching on another passenger's space or protruding into the aisle, it will need to travel in a kennel (provided by the passenger) in the cargo hold. Verbal assurance that the animal is providing a service to assist with a disability will suffice should an inquiry be made.

Emotional Support or Psychiatric Service Animals

Emotional support and psychiatric service animals provide emotional support to an individual with a mental health-related disability. In accordance with the Department of Transportation, we require appropriate documentation 48 hours before departure to permit emotional support and psychiatric service animals to travel in the passenger cabin.

To make arrangements for the transportation of an emotional support or psychiatric service animal, please call Reservations at 787 741 8331 at least 48 hours before your flight.

• • The passenger needs the emotional support or psychiatric service animal as an accommodation for air travel and/or for activity at the passenger's destination
