What Are Delta Pet Carrier Dimensions? 877-297-0699

[Edwinboaz]

Delta Air Lines allows small pets, such as dogs, cats, and household birds, to travel in the cabin if they fit in an approved carrier under the seat. Knowing the correct pet carrier dimensions is essential for a hassle-free trip. For specific details, call Delta at 877-297-0699.
 

The recommended maximum pet carrier dimensions for in-cabin travel are 18” x 11” x 11” (length x width x height), fitting most Delta aircraft. However, under-seat space varies by plane, so verify dimensions for your flight by contacting 877-297-0699. The carrier must be soft-sided, leak-proof, and well-ventilated, with openings on three sides for domestic flights and four for international ones. Pets must stay inside the carrier during boarding, deplaning, and the entire flight.
 

The carrier should allow your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably without touching the sides or top. Hard-sided carriers are generally not recommended, as they may not fit well under seats. For questions about carrier types, reach out to Delta at 877-297-0699. Exceptions include one female pet traveling with her unweaned litter (8 weeks to 6 months old) or two compatible pets of the same breed and size sharing a carrier, counted as one pet.
 

The pet carrier counts as a carry-on item, along with one personal item. At check-in, visit the Special Service Counter to confirm compliance and pay the pet fee ($95 domestic, $200 international). For help with fees or restrictions, call 877-297-0699. Book early, as pet spots are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
 

For international travel or cargo options for larger pets, additional rules apply. Contact 877-297-0699 for detailed information to ensure compliance.
