Hi friends!
I've been asking around at Southwest Airlines to see if there is in fact a way to take a tort on the plane with you. Big news! You are allowed to take a "turtle" on the plane as an Emotional Support Animal. There are a few caveats- you have to be diagnosed with a mental or emotional disability recognized in the DSM, and you need your doctor to write you a note stating that they believe it would be helpful for you to have the animal with you on the plane.
Obviously this isn't applicable to everyone, but for those of you who do fit these criteria, I urge you to check it out! Southwest doesn't allow reptiles except for turtles as emotional support animals, and if your tort is turtle sized, well... I think it will work out![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
