Bringing a puppy home via nonrev

[Raskal]

This may be an odd question, but I am looking to go pick up a new puppy from a breeder and bring it home to save the shipping costs. I should know this but, assuming an rj, can it be brought in the cabin if in a container? Does Delta have a charge for DCI nonrevs for this? Or, if in cargo, will a nonrev be charged?

Thanks.

No charge for carry-on dogs on Delta for Non-Revs. If you "checked" your dog, it would be the same price as regular passengers pay.

Why don't you just have it mailed like the lady in minneapolis tried to do?

Actually they do charge you for carry on dog. They have charged us everytime.

I work at ASA and have brought a puppy home on the cabin on an ASA flight and was not charged.

I think that they recently have stopped charging non-revs for carry on pets.

Just looked it up on Delta net. There is no charge to bring a pet in the cabin for non-revs.

but it must fit in an approved carrying case UNDER the seat in front of you.

i don't know how big your puppy is, but carry it on!!! i have seen all too many times on a walk-around a dog/cat etc. sitting in a crate (that could have been brought in the cabin) scared to death and becoming deaf on the ramp right next to the apu exhaust let alone the outdoor weather conditions.

Thanks for the replies. The puppy is small enough for a carry-on under the seat (for now), so we'll give it a try Sunday. The Deltanet site does say no fee for nonrevs, we'll see.

I'd print that page and carry it with you for added insurance.

I did it a couple of years ago. Got a soft carry on bag at petsmart.

Go to a vet and get a mild sedative to keep the puppy quiet. They will sleep the whole way.

Picked it up and brought it back today, no charge, no one really even cared...small airport though. Rode back on an ASA 700. I haven't rode on many 700's, but did they take out the forward lav for the 3 rows of first?

We actually picked the puppy up for a friend, it is an 8-week old English Labrador. Awesome puppy.

Yeah that's how they fit the first class seats. Kind of sucks. I brought home a puppy on United and they tried to charge me a few years ago.
