Alaska Airlines will only allow service DOGS on its flights from January 11 as it becomes the first carrier to ban ALL emotional support animals
Alaska Airlines on Tuesday announced that beginning on January 11, it will no longer allow any emotional support animals on its flights, only service dogs
Policy change comes just weeks after Department of Transportation said that it will no longer require airlines to accommodate emotional support animals
The decision could earn airlines an extra $60million a year
Airlines were previously required to allow animals for free with passengers who had a doctor's note saying they needed the animal for emotional support
