We will be flying LAX to JFK with our 20 lb. Corgi, Lucy, in an airline approved, soft-sided Sherpa carrier. The plane has only a 4 row business and the rest of the seats are coach. Last time we flew with Lucy we were in the 1st of the 4 rows of business class and there was no seat in front of us to store Lucy and her carrier. There were also no other seats in business with room in front to store a carrier because they changed the seats to recline, leaving less than 3" of space under the seat in front. The flight attendants had the right to move Lucy & carrier behind the 4th row seats, and threatened many times to do it. Has anyone had experience flying a dog on Delta in the business class rows # 1-4, or coach?

Delta's latest mistake with a cat in cargo

The only time my family flew with our corgi Daisy, it was Delta and she was in cargo. I was thinking of her all day, reminded flight attendants that my dog was in cargo and that it should be pressurized like the cabin, and yelled hi to her when we saw her crate on the luggage cart outside the second, smaller plane from Salt Lake City to Helena, Montana. We were happy to meet her at the Helena Regional airport, but she had made quite a mess in her cage because she managed to eat some aluminum foil the day before. We keep an eye on our dogs and do our best to keep garbage unavailable for them to eat, but that was the only real issue on the day of the flight. Later in the summer when it was time to fly home, Delta wouldn't fly the dogs (we had gotten a second one in Montana!) because of the heat. My dad drove me and my brother across the country with the dogs, who drank a fresh cup of coffee my dad left in the truck while we looked at RVs. They didn't spill any of the coffee, and they had coffee breath. We had such a good time traveling that we now drive for vacation rather than flying, camping in a trailer with the dogs along the way.

-flew Jet Blue yesterday with an 8 week old French bulldog-didn't hear a peep out of him the whole trip.  Didn't hear a peep from flight attendants either.
