Delta not letting animals travel?

Question

I'm moving out of the country, and I would like to take my pet, but the agency that I bought my ticket said that Delta is not letting animals travel May-September. I don't want to leave my pet and I think that's really unfair.
Any suggestions to what I should do? Was the girl lying?

Answer 1

I think your agent was being overzelous. There are restriction for weather related reasons. Check this out then go to the Delta site yourself. There are contact numbers for specific info.
Weather Restrictions
Summer Restrictions—May 15 through September 15
Pets cannot be checked as baggage on Delta- and Aeromexico-operated flights.
Pets may be shipped as cargo. See below for year-round temperature restrictions.

Year-round Restrictions
Delta will not accept animals as checked baggage or cargo during extreme weather if at any point during the animal's trip the temperature is forecast to be:

Below Above
20 degrees Fahrenheit
For temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit an acclimation certificate signed by a veterinarian is required.
70 degrees Fahrenheit for snub/pug-nosed breeds, or
85 degrees Fahrenheit for all other breeds.
Exception: pets are accepted to/from Anchorage, Alaska when temperatures are forecast below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Delta reserves the right to refuse live animals as checked baggage and as cargo if the animal's health is in question and/or if the health of the animal may be jeopardized by extreme conditions.

Additional Restrictions for Pug or Snub-nosed Dogs and Cats
Pug or snub-nosed dogs and cats are not hot-weather animals and therefore do not thrive in warm temperatures. As a precaution, Delta will not accept them as checked baggage or as air cargo if the temperature on any part of their trip exceeds 70 degrees F.
