This was posted on Yorkie talk. We fly Delta and they charge $150. each way for a dog flying under the seat!!! They don't even get "miles" or a snack or treat!! Maybe if all of us who fly Delta complain to the CEO
about the cost hopefully they might decrease it. I'm going to write and tell them they will lose our business for 2 tickets each time we fly because we can't afford to pay $300 for our little Yorkie. Let's get going and bombard Delta with letters. I think I will send mine via snail mail because a computer probably answers the email. Thanks !!

, dogs can fly Southwest Airlines starting June 17
Just in time for summer, Southwest Airlines is reversing its longtime no-pets policy. Starting with tickets booked June 1, for travel June 17 or later, you’ll be able to bring a small cat or dog aboard for a fee of $75 each way. Pets will still be banned from the cargo hold.
For the rules, check out a cute video, featuring Ace the dog and an improbably enthusiastic kitten (this is a feline?) named Frankie, that Southwest posted on YouTube and its blog site. Or you can read the details and a Q&A on the airline’s P.A.W.S. (Pets Are Welcome on Southwest) page.

Southwest’s program name recalls the JetPaws program that JetBlue Airways started in December. But there are differences. JetBlue, for instance, charges $100 each way, and it awards two frequent-flier points per pet for each flight. Southwest doesn’t give frequent-flier points to pets.
Also on June 1, for flights June 17 or later, Southwest will add a $25 service charge each way for unaccompanied minors (now free) and raise the fee for a third or overweight checked bag from $25 to $50. The first two bags remain free. Southwest said the changes were meant to help cover its costs.
