Delta says it will no longer let pets fly as checked baggage. They'll have to fly freight

NEW YORK — Delta won't let you check your pets as baggage next year. Starting in March, bigger animals will have to fly on Delta's cargo service.

That's typically pricier than checking pets as baggage. It can also be less convenient since the pet may not be shipped with a customer's flight.

United Airlines also doesn't allow pets to be checked in as baggage.
