Please contact Delta Airlines, as I am trvelling with my ferrets.  I am
taking two in the cabin and if weather permits two under the cabin.  Always
ask to speak with a manager and tell them that you need every rule for a
pet travelling with you either faxed or emailed to you so there is no
question and also get the managers name.  I spent 20 to 25 mins going over
the rules with a very informed travel agent.  As for the ferrets wanting to
be in a pressurized part of the plane, the place under the plane where the
animals are kept is pressurized and please, let us remember, that these are
pets.  I love my ferrets more than most things in life, but they are my
pets.  I don't want to separate my 4 for 3 to 4 weeks when I would be able
to come back up to Boston and pick them up so I chose to take 2 on and 2
under so they can all be together once I get there.  Alos Delta only
charges 75.00 a carrier which is pretty reasonable.  Also US Air allows
them to travel although I am not sure if you can carry on into the cabin.
I can def tell you that AA does not allow ferrets on the plane at all.
 
Wishing you the best of travelling luch with your fuzzies.
