Although it’s tempting to hold your dog on your lap during a Delta flight, the airline’s policy does not allow pets to sit on passengers’ laps. Instead, Delta requires that small pets travel in an approved pet carrier that fits beneath the seat in front of you. Your dog must stay in the carrier for the entirety of the flight, no matter how short or long the trip is.
This regulation is for the comfort and safety of all passengers, as well as the wellbeing of your pet. It’s essential to familiarize your dog with the carrier prior to flying to ensure a stress-free journey for everyone.
