American Airlines updates pet policy, allowing pets in cabin with full-sized carry-on for $35 fee.

American Airlines has updated its pet policy, allowing passengers to bring their pets in the cabin alongside a full-sized carry-on bag for an additional $35 fee. Previously, pet owners could only bring one small item that fit under the seat. Critics of the old policy argued that it was unfair for pet owners to pay a fee but still be restricted in carry-on luggage. This change is expected to reduce the instances of passengers falsely claiming their pets are service animals to avoid paying the fee.
