Delta recommends a soft-sided kennel with maximum dimensions of 18” x 11” x 11” since this fits most aircraft types. Your pet must remain inside the kennel with the door secured while in a Delta boarding area, during boarding and deplaning, while in a Delta Sky Club® and while on board the aircraft.
How can I take my large dog on a plane?
Dogs usually need to be 20 lbs or less to fly with you inside the plane. As Checked Bags: The majority of airlines allow crated dogs to fly as checked bags. This means you will bring your dog's crate to check-in like your other baggage, and he or she will be weighing and transported like the rest of the plane's bags.
How much does it cost to fly a large dog in cargo?
Example Estimate: Flying one small dog (like a Chihuahua) domestically via cargo with a pet-friendly airline, will likely cost between $275 USD to $300 USD. Larger dogs' airfreight (like a Great Dane) can go up to around $1000 USD for a domestic move, especially if you have a custom kennel.
