Daulatzai said she was traveling to see her elderly father, who was undergoing surgery. She told “Good Morning America” on Thursday that when she boarded the plane, “the first thing I asked the flight attendant was, ‘How many dogs are going to be on this plane?’”

But, she said, she never told airline personnel that her allergy was a life-threatening condition.

“I said, ‘It’s not life-threatening at all,’” she said.

Daulatzai, a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, alleges that she never asked for the dogs to be removed from the plane, never claimed to have life-threatening allergies and was never asked for medical certification.

She was forced off the plane, she alleges, because of who she is: a woman of color and of the Islamic faith.

Daulatzai had discussed her non-life-threatening dog allergies with Southwest crew members soon after boarding the aircraft, her attorneys say. But shortly after she had taken a seat at a safe distance from the dogs toward the back of the plane, a Southwest representative approached her, asking her to leave the plane. Despite assuring flight crew that she would be completely fine on the plane, her attorneys allege, Daulatzai was “pulled from her seat by her belt loop” and “dragged ..... through the aisle exposed with torn pants.”
