airplanes

You've probably heard that the rules concerning emotional support animals on airplanes are changing, after a few incidents including a hamster flushed down the toilet, a VIP turkey and a few dog bites. Now, all animals except for dogs, cats and miniature horses are banned from flying. Yep, you heard me right: miniature horses. If you're more interested in taking your doggo on board, check out this travel guide for your fur babies. But if you have equine inclinations, read on.

Picture this: you're walking down the aisle in an airplane and when you find your seat, there's a turkey sitting next to it. Or a pig. Or a monkey. It sounds like a comedy routine, but it isn't. In the past few years, there has been an unprecedented rise in people having 'emotional support animals', particularly when traveling on airplanes. While any step towards improving mental health is applauded, there have been many incidents involving emotional support animals on airplanes that really don't belong there. We can't blame these untrained animals for acting the way animals act, but we can question the laws that allow them on board. With new regulations from the US Department of Transport, things are about to change. We discuss these changes below, and whether they are for the better or the worse.

On Wednesday, an easyJet flight from London Gatwick to Belfast was delayed because two flight attendants couldn't get along.

It had nothing to do with mechanical issues or a crowded runway, but instead, two crew members with a "verbal disagreement". The plane had to return to its gate until the two involved could be replaced.

To make matters worse, the plane was loaded with kids and babies. The band Disclosure was also on the flight and, like many others, were pretty pissed at easyJet.
