Pets in the Cabin
𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝔸𝕚𝕣 𝕃𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 welcomes passengers with small pets (dogs, cats, and household birds) in the cabin on select flights within the United States, Canada, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Pets are not permitted on flights to Hawaii[[18777380274]. To qualify for travel in the cabin, your pet must be small enough to fit comfortably in a carrier under the seat in front of you. Pets must be at least 10 weeks old for domestic travel, 16 weeks old if traveling to the USA from elsewhere, and 15 weeks old for European Union travel. Passengers can bring 1 pet in each carrier, except on domestic flights in the USA where a female cat or dog may travel with her litter if they are 10 weeks to 6 months old. There is no limit on the number of animals in the litter. Fees for taking your pet in the cabin vary depending on your travel plans[[18777380274]. Flights to/from the U.S.A, Canada, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands incur a pet fee of $95, flights outside the U.S. incur a pet fee of $200; and flights to Brazil incur a pet fee of $75.
Pets in Checked Baggage
Unfortunately, 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝔸𝕚𝕣 𝕃𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 [[18777380274]does not allow pets to travel as checked baggage.
Pets in Cargo
Animals who are too large to be taken in the cabin,[[18777380274] or are being transported separately from their owner, can be shipped as cargo through 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 Cargo. Pets shipped domestically via 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 Cargo cannot be booked until 14 days prior to departure, pets are not guaranteed to be shipped on the same flight as their owner[[18777380274]. Shipping a pet requires dropping it off at a 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 Cargo location at least 3 hours before departure.
Carrier Guidelines
For pets traveling in the cabin, maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight. You must contact 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 Reservations to determine the appropriate kennel size. However, a soft-sided carrier with dimensions of 18” x 11” x 11” (45 cm x 28 cm x 28 cm) is recommended as this will fit on most 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 aircrafts [[18777380274]. Pets must remain inside the carrier while in the airport boarding area, during boarding, as well as throughout the duration of each flight. For pets traveling with 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 Cargo, carriers can have any of the following dimensions (as long as pets fit comfortably inside): 27" x 20" x 19" (68 cm x 50 cm x 48 cm); 32" x 22" x 23" (81 cm x 55 cm x 58 cm); 36" x 24" x 26" (91 cm x 61 cm x 66 cm); 40" x 27" x 30" (101 cm x 68 cm x 76 cm); and 48" x 32" x 35" (122 cm x 81 cm x 89 cm). Kennels must be rigid with a solid top, have proper ventilation on at least 3 sides domestically or 4 on international flights, have a solid door, and nuts and bolts securing loose parts. The kennel should be large enough for animals to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably[[18777380274]. Carriers must include food and water dishes clipped securely inside and absorbent material on the bottom.
