Delta Air Lines announces embargo on pets as checked baggage

Airline Industry Information, May 2, 2003

AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION-(C)1997-2003 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

Delta Air Lines will implement its annual embargo on the acceptance of pets as checked baggage from 15 May through to 15 September.

During this embargo period, customers may transport their pets by shipping them as cargo under the Pet First programme or transporting them as carry-on luggage. The airline's Pet First programme is available from Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas and Salt Lake City, and is designed to address the special needs of warm-blooded animals shipped as cargo without their owner.

Those customers wishing to transport pets as carry-on luggage may bring their pets (dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs) into the passenger cabin for a fee of USD75 when travelling within the US or Canada. The animals must fit comfortably in a kennel measuring 17"L x 12"W x 8"H.
