Hello,
I am moving from North Carolina to California. I need to get my dog to California, and I have a Delta flight over there? Has anyone used Delta to send their pet over with them as checked baggage? I can't take him on the plane with me because he weighs 60 pounds.
Anyone have suggestions on what the safest way to get my dog to California is?
Thank you.

Yes, DL does take pets as "checked baggage" and also as "cargo". As you will be on the same flight as your dog you should opt for the "checked baggage" option for $175 O/W.

What are your departure and arriving airports and also when you are traveling? Also please note that there are certain restrictions between 5/15 & 9/15.

Also I hope that you booked a nonstop flight if you intend to travel with your pet to avoid a miscue with a connecting flight and also there are additional restrictions if you are not just flying on mainline but you are on a DL Connection flight. @:-)

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I am traveling on Tuesday December 1st, 2009. I have a layover flight, because there is no direct flights out of Charlotte to LAX. I have to fly to deltas hub (atlanta) which is about a 40 minute flight.
I leave Charlotte at 3:28PM EST on the 1st, get to atlanta at 4:55pm EST.
That flight then leaves atlanta to go to LAX at 6:40EST , and gets to LAX at 8:50PM PST so 11:50EST
What should I do?
