I just checked recently because I wanted to take Annie with me on an overnight trip. I was flying Delta there ($125) and United AirWays ($100) on the way back -- and th told me her carrier would count as my carry-on and I would have to pay if I wanted to check my bag ($50 each way)!! Then the first hotel I called had a $50 pet deposit! So, it was going to cost me $375 just to take my little 2 pound dog with me on an overnight trip. She went to stay with my mom, needless to say! I thought it was ridiculous! I would not mind paying a nominal cost even though she would be taking up the same as any carry-on and weigh less than most, but that amounted to highway robbery! (Airway robbery?)

I was told they could have no more than 2 pets on the plane. I thought that was odd too. Wonder why? Maybe the air would get too much pet dander for allergy sufferers?
