How do I book my pet on Delta Airlines?

There are a few things you need to know before booking your pet on Delta Airlines. First, there is a dedicated pet reservation line that can be reached at 1-800-328-1111 (open 6 am to midnight ET). To book your pet, you'll need to do so at least 48 hours prior to your flight and bring the following information:

• Your name and contact number

• The name of the person who will be picking up your pet

• Flight date, time and destination/origin airports

Will my pet have its own seat?

If your pet is small enough to fit under the seat, then yes, it will have its own seat. If your pet is large enough to take up the whole seat, then yes, it will have its own seat.

In addition to this rule of thumb, Delta’s policy also includes some exceptions that you should know about:

• Great Danes and other breeds over 25 pounds must travel in a carrier that can fit under the passenger's seat. These pets may occupy one of two places: either directly on top of their owner or next to them in an adjacent row.

• Pets traveling with a person who has an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) card will be allowed on flights longer than eight hours at no additional cost but must be seated with their handler at all times.
