With emotional support animals.
You can legally charge pet deposit or charges for pets and now every dog is an emotional support animal. Airlines finally cracked down on this. I watched a dog years ago bark the entire flight then snap at that man next to it. That was a certified emotional support dog as the woman told everyone.

I’m a #1 dog fan, but your eyes are closed if you don’t see how half of these dogs are now a scam.
