Re: Flying with a dog
I flew with my dog to Albuquerque NM from TV last month. I think I was more nervous than he was. Everything turned out great though. I had him in a soft side carrier that I bought at Target so he was easy to fit under the seat when taking off and landing. Otherwise he was on my lap (still in carrier). I could have my hand inside petting him so he knew I was there and was calm. One of the flight attendants tried to get someone in the back of the plane to trade seats with me so I could kind of sneak him out of the carrier and on my lap but no-one would trade seats. He did not bark or cause any problem during flight at all. It cost me an extra $100.00 for him to fly but well worth it as I refuse to leave him. The airlines count the carrier as your carry on so don't bring another on unless you want to pay for it. Also, security was very easy, you put the carrier through and carry the dog with you.
Good Luck
