Living in Atlanta, and this is Delta's home, I use them all of the time to fly with dogs to Holland and Germany. I always use a 500 crate. They have never bothered us, even with the large males. Since we always fly with the dogs on the same plane, excess baggage, I don't know if there would be a problem with the size of the dog if you used cargo.

Their website says if the dog is in a 700. they have to go cargo? If I put this dog in a 500 are they going to refuse?? I know a lot depends on who is behind the counter. I haven't flown with a dog on Delta for a number of years. I have been using United..
