AA: Dogs & Cats Now Only Allowed Emotional Support Flyers


No more other animal pals such as pigs, ferrets, hamsters or even snuggly ponies can accompany panicky passengers aboard American Airline planes.

There is also required a veterinary health form that lists the pet's vaccination and other health details. Also, Fido and Fluffy must be at least 4 months old. It’s expected that other airlines will be imposing similar restrictions. So, if you medically or emotionally expect to fly with your pet, be sure to check with the airline on all rules that apply.
Q: Tired Of Flying NYC To DC. How About Taking The Train? PDF Print E-mail


I regularly go between the two cities on business and to visit family. Getting fed up with the ever-rising air ticket prices, security lines and flight delays. Do you think train service is just as efficient, cost-effective or even better? PJL, Long Island NY

A: Before you make your next travel plans, check online sources for the latest in Amtrak service between those cities. For example, a recent inquiry about a round-trip ticket by train was $70, while a flight was $240. Of course, there are other costs. Getting from your Long Island home to Penn Station by taxi, bus or local train costs an additional $50, and about the same to JFK airport.

Actually, whatever your choice, it takes a total of about four hours each way from home to destination on either train or flight. And usually costs more than twice as much to fly.
