Which statement is true about service animals and the cabin pet limit?

• A. They are exempt from the limit
• B. They count toward the limit
• C. They require a separate seat
• D. They count toward the limit only on domestic flights

Answer: (A)

Service animals are not treated as pets when flying; they’re allowed in the cabin to assist a person with a disability and do not count toward the cabin pet limit. This reflects their status as trained, task-performing animals rather than ordinary pets, so they can accompany the passenger without occupying a restricted pet slot or needing a separate seat. They’re typically harnessed or leashed and stay with the passenger during the flight, with airlines sometimes requiring advance notice and basic documentation, but the key idea is that the animal is exempt from the cabin pet limit.
