Correct, but your post is misleading. Pax with service animals have rights under the air carrier access act not the ADA. The rights are similar.

PP is technically correct. The ADA doesn't apply. The air carrier access law does apply. Airlines side with. Service animals as per access act. There is a legal difference but on conversation people don't make the distinction.
it's easier to say it's an ADA rule then explain the air carrier access act
