I have flown somewhat recently (Winter 98-99) with a ferret on Delta.  No
problems whatsoever; in fact, the staff slowed me down a bit on my entry
into the plane to get a good look at her cuteness. :)  However, I did not
pay a mere $40, as some other lucky person did.  I was charged $60 PER TRIP
for a total of $120.  Whether this varies from airport to airport, or just
a change made since the previous poster traveled with ferrets (or could we
be so lucky that Delta dropped their prices???), I don't know.  But yes,
you do need to reserve the tickets in advance (as I recall, I didn't have
to pay for my ferret until I actually got to the counter).  I'd call and
check and see what the charges are and MAKE SURE they tell you the round
trip cost.  I was told $60, but not that the $60 was one-way only.
 
Good luck.
