OK, I was curious so I called Delta Airlines and asked them a couple of questions. I have flown with a service dog on board and I have also traveled with a pet on board. I was not charged to fly with the service dog and actually the pilot was really nice, we flew from East to West coast. When it was time for us to land he asked everyone to please remain seated so I could get Miriam off first. He told everyone we have been flying all night and she needs to go! LOL. I thought it was awfully nice of him.(and Miriam had to go)
These were my questions.....
Question #1 Why the fee? It is for the privelage of having your pet with you on board, you would have to pay to have them in cargo. OK.
Question #2 I am aloud to have 1 personal item(ie purse) & 1 carry on item(ie laptop, or sm luggage, or backpack) on board, so why if I am paying to have my pet with me, why is that counted as 1 of my carry on items?
Answer because each person is only allowed the room for 1 personal & 1 carry on item. It is a space issue.
