JetBlue Emotional Support Animal Policies

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) is a federal law that, among other things,  gives people the right to fly with their ESA. If you plan to travel with your ESA via commercial airlines, you should be aware that there are specific guidelines that must be followed to access the privileges given ESAs under the ACAA. For example, you will need a Dr. prescribed ESA letter. 

You should also be aware that most airlines have specific ESA policies that might affect your travel plans. Before you buy a ticket for a flight that you intend to take with your ESA, review the airline’s policies for potential limitations and restrictions that may interfere with your plans.
