CARRY ON YOUR PET

Dogs, cats and household birds can travel with you in the cabin for a one-way fee*, collected at check in, to the following destinations:

U.S./Canada: $125 USD/CAD
Virgin Islands: $125 USD/CAD
Puerto Rico: $125 USD/CAD
Outside the U.S.: $200 USD/CAD/EUR
Brazil: $75 USD

Carrier size requirements are listed below:

The pet carrier must fit under the seat. According to Delta's website, the underseat maximum dimensions are:

Stowage AreaMaximum Possible DimensionsTotal Dimensions (length + width + height) Underseat 9in x 14in x 22in 45 in

Special cases:

For any travel to or from South Africa, Honk Kong or the United Kingdom — with the exception of service animals — pets must travel as cargo and are not permitted in the cabin.

For travel to Hawaii, pets are not permitted to travel in the cabin, and other restrictions may apply. See Pets to Hawaii for details.

*CAD amount will be charged exit Canada, and EUR amount will be charged exit Europe. Fees established by the contract of carriage in effect at the time of ticket issuance will apply.

he following restrictions apply to pets traveling as carry-on baggage:

Your pet must be small enough to fit comfortably in a kennel under the seat directly in front of you. Maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight. You must contact Delta Reservations to determine the appropriate kennel size.
Your pet must remain inside the kennel (with door secured) while in a Delta boarding area (during boarding and deplaning), a Delta airport lounge and while onboard the aircraft.
Your pet must be at least 10 weeks old for Domestic and International travel.
Your pet counts as one piece of carry-on baggage.
You may not carry on more than one pet.

Exception: Two pets of the same species and size may be allowed to travel in one kennel, provide they are small enough to fit into one kennel and are compatible. They will be charged as one pet.

Pets are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call Delta in advance at 800-221-1212 to arrange to bring your pet on board. To ensure the comfort of all of our passengers, Delta limits the number of total pets per flight.
