U.S. to let airlines limit service animals on planes

I'm not sure... I guess maybe it depends on how severe the allergy is and how much of an issue you make of it. For me it's not life-threatening; it just makes me uncomfortable: a little nasal congestion, and perhaps my eyes feel a little itchy. I didn't say anything on that particular flight, but perhaps if I had, they could have accommodated me somehow.

Same here. It's not life threatening. But depending on the dog it can mean real misery for an extended time.

I usually have medications in my travel kit. But until a pill works it takes an hour and it can be too late.

I wouldn't complain about service animals. But scumbags, who are just too cheap to pay for proper transportation of their pet severely piss me off.

Thankfully it's not such a big issue in Europe.
