What type of animals are now no longer accepted on flights?

The correct answer is based on recent changes in airline policies regarding the types of animals allowed in the cabin during flights. Emotional support animals, which are typically defined as pets that provide comfort to their owners in the form of emotional support or companionship, have seen restrictions implemented by many airlines. While these animals were previously allowed to accompany their owners on flights as a form of support, many airlines have since revised their policies and no longer recognize emotional support animals as an approved category for in-cabin travel.

In contrast, service animals, specifically trained to assist individuals with disabilities, remain widely accepted on flights. Therapy animals, which are trained to provide comfort and companionship in therapeutic settings but are not specifically trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities, can still be subject to individual airline policies. Interestingly, pets belonging to celebrities are a separate category, often treated like regular pets under airline pet travel policies, which can differ from service and emotional support animals.

Overall, this shift reflects a broader trend in aviation as airlines work to balance passenger comfort with safety and logistical considerations.
