I recently flew a dog as checked baggage on Delta. I was charged $275. The last time I flew a dog as checked baggage, the charge was $125. Northwest now charges $299 for a dog traveling in a #400 crate as baggage. To my knowledge, for domestic travel, American Airlines still charges $150 for dogs checked as baggage. (They went up from $100 on May 22, 2008.)

I thought American & Delta were both around $100-$125 each way...but with the recent mergers and changes I am hoping there are still options.?? Anyone who knows or flew dogs to the Nationa, your help is appreciated so that I don't have to call every single airline!?? :)? Thanks!
