[NAGDU] Delta to Require Advance Documentation for Service, Support Animals to Fly - WSJ

[d m gina]

 I always thought the papers were signed by the vet.
The lady I used did this.
Never gave it a second thought.
That would be one question I would ask when I go back again.
Then that would be covered.

>> Marianne is correct.  I think it should be noted that:

>> 1.  Air carriers are not required to comply with the ADA under the Air
>> Carriers Accessibility Act (ACAA).

>> 2.  Under the ACAA, air carriers may require records of vaccinations for
>> service animals.

>> 3.  Under the ACAA, air carriers may require a request for accommodation
>> of a service animal prior to boarding and provide a form for doing so.

>> The new Delta policy regarding service animals does not require

>> certificates of vaccination be less than 1 year old, if you are
>> traveling with a service animal.  When I was at GDF, we were advised
>> that we should always carry our vaccination certificates with us when we

>> I think the new policy was carefully researched by Delta.  Now, whether
