IMPORTANT CHANGES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 11, 2021
Alaska Airlines has adopted a new policy on the transport of service animals, following substantial changes to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) rules on the topic.
Effective January 11, 2021, Alaska will accept only service dogs which are trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability. Emotional support animals will no longer be accepted.
Alaska will continue to accept emotional support animals under our current policy for reservations booked prior to January 11, 2021, for flights on or before February 28, 2021. No emotional support animals will be transported after February 28, 2021.
