A Sellersville corgi named Chesapeake, or Chessy, is one of many dogs on a no-fly list, writes Jacob Passy for The Wall Street Journal.  

Rachael Breder, the dog mom of this two-year-old pup said she tried to take him on a United flight when she was informed by agents that they were flagging her account due to Chessy’s size.  

Chessy often competes in dog agility competitions, and Breder still has hopes he can still be a frequent flyer despite the ban.  

“There’s travel that I want to do with her,” she says. 

In 2021, the Transportation Department gave airlines more wiggle room to ban pets from planes if they weren’t service animals, according to The Wall Street Journal.  

Airlines say these bans are due to passenger complaints, an uptick of incidents involving bites and urinations, and allergies.  

Airlines require animals to be small enough to stand up and turn around in their carrier to fly, however, some pets can ride in the baggage compartment.
