A big airline is relaxing its pet policy to let owners bring the companion and a rolling carry-on

Associated Press  

FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines is relaxing part of its pet policy to let owners bring their companion and a full-size carry-on bag into the cabin. Until this week, people who carried a pet into the cabin — which involves paying a $150 fee — could only have one other small item that fit under the seat. Now American is letting passengers bring a pet in the cabin and also bring a regular carry-on bag or a personal item — just not both bags. Leff said he thinks American’s change will reduce the urge for travelers to falsely claim that their pet is a service animal that flies for free.
