The three of us worked out a deal since I am going there anyway and the kittens will be ready for placement and I am flying with them. Deltas policy allows for two pets of the same species to fly together in the same kennel in the cain if they both fit comfortably which two kittens will so no problem there.

I realize I can't sit in an exit row and totally understand the reasoning for that. This is a flight I can usually get upgraded on and and realize if there are no other pets flying in first it won't be an issue. I also realize if there are already two other people flying with pets I won't get upgraded.

According to deltas site 2 pets are allowed in first, but what happens if there is only other person with 1 pet in first? Will they allow the upgrade and treat it as though I am flying with 1 pet since they are in the same carrier or treat it as though I am flying with two pets?

Here is deltas policy on two pets:
Exception: Two pets of the same type may be allowed in one kennel, for example two dogs or two cats. They must be small enough to fit in one kennel provided they are compatible and must be of the same species and size, and they must meet the requirements of acceptance. They will be charged as one pet.


I realize I will only be charged $90 (which I don't care about anyway since the kittens buyer is paying the fees) but will they consider the kittens to be two pets or 1 pet for upgrade purposes?
