ticket for her emotional support peacock, but United Airlines refused to
let the bird board the flight, Live and Let’s Fly reports.
In a statement to CNBC, United spokeswoman, Andrea Hiller said the
woman brought a peacock with her for a Saturday flight from Newark
Liberty International Airport, despite several warnings that the bird
did not satisfy the airline's guidelines.
According to her, the oversized bird did not fly. "This animal
did not meet guidelines for a number of reasons, including its weight
and size. We explained this to the customer on three separate occasions
before they arrived at the airport."
The airline also noted that passengers are required to provide
proper documentation from a medical professional at least 48 hours in
advance of boarding that specifies the passenger’s need for an animal.
