Delta Air Lines's Pet Travel Policy
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates air transportation of pets and all airlines are required by law to follow the guidelines outlined on our Air Travel Regulations for Pets page. Individual airlines may impose further restrictions or fees for flying with your pet. Delta Air Lines's pet policy is described below.
Any questions? Call Delta Air Lines at 800-221-1212
Pets in the Cabin:
Each passenger is allowed to carry-on one dog in the passenger cabin on flights within the United States (except Hawaii), Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Your pet must be small enough to fit comfortably in a carrier under the seat directly in front of you and your pet's carrier counts as one piece of carry-on baggage. Maximum carrier dimensions are determined by your flight and will be provided when you make your reservation. Your pet must remain inside the carrier with door secured while you're in a Delta boarding area, lounge, or onboard the aircraft.
The fee for a pet traveling with you in the cabin is $100 one-way (to be collected at check-in). Pets are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call Delta in advance to arrange to bring your pet on board.
Pets Checked with Baggage:
Each passenger can transport a total of two kennels per flight. Giant-size kennels can only be shipped as air cargo and additional restrictions may apply according to aircraft and class of service. If you and your pet are making a transfer to another airline, be sure to allow time to claim your animal and re-check it with the connecting airline.
The one-way fee for checking your pet on flights within the U.S. is $200. For additional information or to arrange to check your pet as baggage, call Delta Reservations at 800-221-1212.
