Finding airlines that will accept dogs in cabin for internation flights is tricky, but possible. For example, American Airlines is normally dog-friendly BUT on transatlantic flights (ie: JFK to Paris) dogs are not allowed. Weird, right? Dogs that can’t fit in a carry-on carrier must go in cargo underneath the plane.
After some research, this is what I found:
DELTA

Pet must stay in kennel at all times
