A passenger at the gate area of a Delta flight captured a photo of a woman preparing to board for Detroit, accompanied by a large dog and four carry-on items.
The dog was not in a bag that fits underneath the seat, which is required for pets in the cabin. Although registered with the airline as a service animal, it clearly did not meet the criteria. Pets in cabins are treated as carry-ons, meaning she should have only had one personal item with her instead of four.
Upon boarding the Bombardier CR-9 regional jet, the woman found she did not fit in first class seat 2A along with her dog. The flight attendant on this Delta Connection trip allowed her to move across the aisle to sit in 2C and placed her dog in 2D. Both seats were assigned to other passengers.
