Delta Airlines is changing up their policies right before the Holidays.
According to Newsweek, emotional support animals will no longer be allowed on flights over 8-hours starting on December 18th. Also, emotional support animals that are 4-months and younger, will not be allowed on any flight.

The change, Delta says, is tied to the safety of customers and to allow the airline to better service the needs of passengers with documented needs, such as veterans or individuals with disabilities who might require a service animal.
"These updates support Delta’s commitment to safety and also protect the rights of customers with documented needs—such as veterans with disabilities—to travel with trained service and support animals,” John Laughter, Delta’s senior vice president, corporate safety, security and compliance, said.
