A big airline is relaxing its pet policy to let owners bring the companion ...
Quick Glance: Airline eases pet policy for companions and carry-on luggage
  • American Airlines is relaxing a part of its pet policy to allow owners to bring their companion and a carry-on bag into the cabin.

  • Previously, passengers carrying a pet into the cabin were only allowed one additional small item fitting under the seat.

  • Now passengers can bring a pet into the cabin along with either a regular carry-on bag or a personal item - but not both bags.

  • The old policy was seen as unfair by some pet owners, as they were already paying a fee for the pet.
