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.
