Delta pet reservation Policy

Traveling with your pet on Delta Airlines will go well if you follow their rules. Here's what you should know.

In-cabin luggage

Delta Airlines allows small pets, such as dogs, cats, and domestic birds, to travel in the cabin with you. Carrying your pet on board incurs a cost, which you may pay upon check-in. Your pet must be transported in a comfortable, soft-sided, well-ventilated pet cage that fits below the seat in front of you. Your pet must be at least eight weeks old to travel within the United States. When traveling to the United States from another nation, your pet must be at least 16 weeks old, and 15 weeks old if traveling to the European Union. The kennel should be leak-proof, with ventilation ports on at least three sides for domestic flights and four for international flights.

Seating Restrictions

There are some seating limitations while traveling with your pet. This implies that passengers with carry-on dogs cannot sit in bulkhead seats, exit rows, flat-bed or Delta One seats, rows 46-51 on A330-200 aircraft, rows 54-59 on A330-300 aircraft, or center seats on B757-200 aircraft. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests on board. The pet and kennel must fit under the seat directly in front of you, and the pet must be kept in the kennel at all times during the trip.

Make Reservations For Your Pet

You should book your pet's ticket as soon as possible because Delta has a limited number of cabin seats for dogs. Delta will only accept first-come, first-served check-ins for pet travel arrangements. When you call to make a reservation for your pet, be prepared to provide the following kennel dimensions: length, breadth, and height. This information is required to check that your pet's kennel will fit under the seat on the airplane. Because this is a first-come, first-served service, scheduling early helps you to secure a spot for your pet and guarantees that both of you are comfortable during your travel.

Checking In

When you arrive at the airport, check in with your pet at the Special Services Counter. During check-in, a Delta agent will confirm that your pet and kennel meet all of the necessary travel criteria. The agent will also collect the appropriate pet charge. Once you've checked in and received your cabin pet tag, you may go to the security checkpoint. At security, you will be requested to take your pet out of the kennel. After passing through security, your pet must remain in the kennel at all times while at the airport, save in authorized pet relief zones.

International Traveling

If you're traveling overseas with your pet, there are some extra needs to consider. First, contact your target country's embassy or consulate to learn more about their pet-travel rules. Obtain any required immunizations and paperwork, including health certificates or evidence of vaccination. Check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for restrictions and advisories on animal export and importation.

Restrictions

Delta Airlines restricts pet travel to and from the following cities/destinations. Pets are not permitted in the cabin on flights to or from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Colombia, Dubai, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Iceland, Jamaica, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom, or the United Arab Emirates. Domestic flights in the United States only take household birds, with the exception of Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The CDC has issued a temporary prohibition on adrenaline dogs, including certified service animals, from countries with a high risk of rabies entering the United States. While the suspension is still in effect, canines must be healthy and microchipped.

Delta Sky Club

If you bring your pet to a Delta Sky Club, the regulations are the same as on board an airplane. Your pet must remain in its kennel at all times when accessing the lounge area. Delta workers can help you find a pet relief area. Most airports include a pet relief area for guests with pets or trained service animals. Customers with pets and trained service animals can use this area to let their pets discharge themselves before flying.
