how much does delta charge for that? how big of a deal is it to do all that?

It used to be the price of a checked bag, but now most charge a bit more, around $50 or so. Make sure to call ahead first and ensure you can reserve room. Had this happen to a friend in San Diego, they said they couldn't allow his pet because of items being transferred in cargo... raw steaks or dog food?
SUPER FUCKING IMPORTANT: make SURE to tell the pilot and the flight attendant (tell both because FA's are often lazy shits) you have an animal in cargo and to turn the air on for them.
Ive heard a number of sad stories where the dog crate come out in the luggage area and mr pooch has taken a forever long nap
To save money, they often times turn the oxygen off in cargo. I have friends that are pilots from small props to large Boeing jets and all say the same.
To me, if I were to fly I would buy my dog a seat on the plane. Delta for one allows you, as long as the dog does not weigh more than 25lbs.
