I found this article on Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) interesting in that it explained how the process to being approved to travel with an ESA ... and the impact that flying with someone who is flying with an ESA can have on the rest of us.
I found this both interesting and disturbing: "If an ESA causes someone's allergy to flare up, the passenger with the allergy will be reaccommodated if possible. "But in the end, it's not like there's a wall there that prevents the air from constantly being recirculated through the cabin," says Malis. If the passenger has a really severe allergy, they'll likely have to get off the flight and onto the next available service.
It'll never be the passenger with the ESA who moves."
So, people flying WITHOUT ESAs are basically secondary to those that do. Have any flying stories to share?

Should emotional support animals be allowed on board airplanes?
Emotional support animals on airplanes are an increasingly hot topic as more passengers arrive at the airport with an animal in tow (that includes pigs).
