Delta allows you to carry perishable items such as fresh or frozen foods, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, bakery products, flowers, cut flowers, floral displays and vegetable plants in the aircraft cabin as part of your carry-on baggage allowance, provided no agricultural rules are violated for the destination country.
If the item does not meet size or weight restrictions for carry-on baggage, we will accept the item within your checked baggage allowance upon completion of a limited release form. However, Delta will not be liable for deterioration or spoilage of any perishable item contained in checked baggage, whether with or without the knowledge of Delta.
Dry Ice shipments are limited by dangerous goods regulations. Customers are encouraged to use frozen gel packs or similar products to keep perishable items checked as baggage, frozen.
Wet ice shipments are not accepted as carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or cargo on Delta or Delta Connection flights.
