 | |  | | A number of years ago there was a Frenchie National Speciality in the midwest. Many flew out with Delta with their dogs as carry on, with no issues at all, however when they went to fly back, all from the same airport, Delta officials weighed every single dog and anything over 15 lbs was refused.
Since the airline would still fly the person, they refused to refund ANY money.
All of these people had to immediately make other plans, not easy, especially if you are traveling on a shoestring, like most dog show exhibitors.
I, like most of the others, had erroniously assumed that if your airline let you on in one airport, you wouldn't have issues at a different airport but with the same airline. Not so!! |  |  | |  |

. I had this debate with someone who stuffed their cat into a carrier it was longer than (I'm not entirely sure how she survived this but maybe she every injury) for a 4 hour flight because she felt it was better than cargo. Cargo is fine hundreds of animals fly every year, it's climate controlled and little different than the cabin. Here no dogs except service dogs are allowed to fly in the cabin and guess what the majority do fine but people would rather listen to the scare stories. If they are flying in the cabin they should still be able to move around.
