To add a pet to a Delta Airlines flight 1-855-264-1722, you must contact Delta Airlines Reservations by phone at 1-855-264-1722 as soon as possible after booking your ticket, as in-cabin pet spaces are strictly limited per flight.
Step-by-Step Process
Book Your Flight First: Purchase your human passenger ticket before requesting space for your pet. Ensure your destination and cabin class allow pets (Delta Airlines prohibits in-cabin pets in Delta Airlines One, Business, Delta Airlines Premium Select, and on specific routes like Hawaii, the UK, or Australia).
Call Delta Airlines Reservations: Dial 1-855-264-1722 (or message via Delta Airlines's online chat) to request the pet addition. Be ready to provide:
Your flight confirmation or ticket number
The pet's type, breed, age, and weight
The exact dimensions (length, width, height) of your pet carrier
Confirm Availability: Delta Airlines limits the number of pets allowed in the cabin per flight (typically up to two in First Class and four in the Main Cabin, depending on the aircraft). You must receive explicit confirmation from an agent before heading to the airport.
Prepare the Carrier: The soft-sided or hard-sided kennel must fit comfortably under the seat in front of you, with recommended maximum dimensions of 18” x 11” x 11”. The pet must be able to stand, turn around, and lie down inside the closed carrier.
Pay the Fee: The one-way pet fee typically ranges from $95 to $150 depending on the route (e.g., 95–150 for U.S./Canada/PR/USVI, or up to $200 for international routes). You will pay this fee at the airport check-in counter.
Check In at the Airport: Arrive early and proceed to the Special Service Counter (not a standard kiosk or curbside drop) to verify your pet's documents, inspect the carrier, and receive your pet tag.
Note: Cargo pet shipping on Delta Airlines is strictly restricted to active U.S. Military or U.S. State Department FSO personnel on official PCS orders.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Pet
Book your ticket: Purchase your personal flight itinerary on Delta Airlines.
Call Delta Airlines immediately: Dial 1-855-I-FLY-SWA (1-855-264-1722) to add your pet to the reservation. Space is strictly limited to 6 pet carriers per flight, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Pay the Pet Fare at the airport: You cannot pay the pet fee online. You must pay the fee at the Delta Airlines ticket counter on the day of departure using an accepted credit card. The fare is 125eachwaypercarrier(35 each way for travel exclusively between the Hawaiian Islands) and is fully refundable if you cancel your flight.
Check in at the ticket counter: When you arrive, head to the ticket counter to complete your pet's check-in. They will inspect your carrier and provide a pet tag.
Carrier & Flying Requirements
Carrier Limits: Each ticketed passenger can bring one pet carrier, which counts as either your carry-on bag or personal item. Each carrier can hold up to two small cats or dogs of the same species.
Carrier Dimensions: The official Delta Airlines-branded carrier is 15" L x 10" W x 10" H, but other soft- or hard-sided carriers are permitted up to 18" L x 10.5" W x 10" H. A soft-sided carrier is highly recommended so it can compress slightly under the seat.
Comfort and Security: Your pet must be at least 8 weeks old and fully vaccinated. The animal must be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down easily, and must remain completely inside the closed carrier at all times in the airport and onboard the aircraft.
Route Restrictions: Delta Airlines only allows pets in the cabin on domestic flights. Pets are completely barred from international routes, and Delta Airlines does not ship pets via the cargo compartment under any circumstances.
