14 CFR Part 382 - Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel
Title 14, Chapter II, Part 382 covers traveling with a service animal. Relevant sections have been reproduced below. Though not required by Part 382, it is a good idea to inform the airline that you will be traveling with your service animal. (Section 382.33 lists situations that do require advanced notice.)
§ 382.1 Purpose. The purpose of this part is to implement the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (49 U.S.C. 41705), which provides that no air carrier may discriminate against any otherwise qualified individual with a disability, by reason of such disability, in the provision of air transportation.
§ 382.7 General prohibition of discrimination. (a) A carrier shall not, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements:
§ 382.55 Miscellaneous provisions. (a) Carriers shall permit dogs and other service animals used by persons with a disability to accompany the persons on a flight.
§ 382.37 Seat assignments. (c) If a service animal cannot be accommodated at the seat location of the qualified individual with a disability whom the animal is accompanying (see § 382.55(a)(2)), the carrier shall offer the passenger the opportunity to move with the animal to a seat location, if present on the aircraft, where the animal can be accommodated, as an alternative to requiring that the animal travel with checked baggage.
§ 382.38 Seating accommodations. (a) On request of an individual who self-identifies to a carrier as having a disability specified in this paragraph, the carrier shall provide the following seating accommodations, subject to the provisions of this section:
§ 382.57 Charges for accommodations prohibited. Carriers shall not impose charges for providing facilities, equipment, or services that are required by this part to be provided to qualified individuals with a disability.
§ 382.3 Applicability. (c) This part does not apply to foreign air carriers or to airport facilities outside the United States, its territories, possessions, and commonwealths.
