DELTA’S NEW PET POLICY:
NO MORE CHECKING PETS
AS BAGGAGE

Starting in March, Delta will no
longer let passengers check their
pets in as baggage. Dogs and
cats that fit in a pet carrier under
a plane’s seat will still be allowed
(for a fee), but bigger animals
will have to fly on Delta’s car-
go service. Two potential draw-
backs of sending pets via cargo
service are the typically higher
prices and that the pet might not
be shipped at the same time as
the customer’s flight. This new
policy will not affect certain
members of the military or pas-
sengers with service or emotion-
al support animals.

Some outlets have contributed this change in policy to the number of pet deaths that have occurred on Delta flights between May 2005 and September 2015. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, on Delta flights alone, 74 pets have died and 14 have gone missing in the 10-year time period.
