Traveling with your dog on Delta Airlines can be smooth if you know the rules. Delta allows small dogs in the cabin, but many owners face issues like carrier fit or limited spots. For help, call 877-297-0699.
Small dogs can travel in-cabin on domestic flights (excluding Hawaii) and select international routes, provided they fit in a soft-sided, ventilated carrier (recommended 18” x 11” x 11”) under the seat. Carriers count as your carry-on, and pets must stay inside during boarding, flight, and in Delta lounges. Dogs must be at least 10 weeks old for domestic travel, 16 weeks for international travel to the U.S., and 15 weeks for the EU. Fees are $95 for U.S./Canada/Puerto Rico, $200 for most international destinations, and $75 for Brazil, collected at check-in.
Only four pets are allowed in the main cabin per flight, so book early by calling Delta Reservations at 877-297-0699 with your dog’s breed, weight, and carrier dimensions. Basic Economy seats and certain areas (bulkhead, exit rows) aren’t pet-friendly. International travel bans dogs in-cabin to places like Australia or the UK, and snub-nosed breeds (e.g., Pugs) are restricted.
Larger dogs can travel via Delta Cargo, but bookings start 14 days before departure—call 877-297-0699. Many travelers struggle with underseat space (e.g., Boeing 737-900ER) or strict rules. Arrive two hours early and check pet relief areas. Call 877-297-0699 for stress-free planning
