What passenger is not allowed to carry a pet onboard?

• A. Infants
• B. Unaccompanied minors
• C. Service animals
• D. Passengers traveling with a checked pet

Answer: (B)

The situation tested is who can legally have an animal traveling in the passenger cabin. Unaccompanied minors are not allowed to carry a pet in the cabin because they don’t have an adult with them to supervise and manage the animal throughout the flight. Safety, handling in the cabin, and the potential needs of the pet all require an accompanying guardian, which an unaccompanied minor does not have.

Service animals, by contrast, are permitted in cabin as a disability accommodation and are not treated as pets in this context, provided the passenger has appropriate documentation and the animal is trained to assist. A passenger traveling with a checked pet isn’t carrying a pet in the cabin at all—the pet would be transported in the cargo hold—so the question of onboard pet eligibility doesn’t apply in the same way. Infants typically travel with an accompanying adult and aren’t prohibited for cabin travel due to pet policies in this context.
