I once flew with my cat in first class; when I placed her on the floor she let out a soft meow. A man across the aisle bellowed "is there a cat on board, I'm allergic" and proceeded to tell the stewart that the cat had to be removed. The stewart calmly told him that only the Captain could make the decision to remove the cat from the cabin. After a few minutes the stewart returned and told
the man that the Captain suggested he take a seat at the back of the plane.Whew!!!! He remained seated in first class.

It's a good idea to put treats in the carrier a few times before flying so that she thinks that the carrier
is a safe place. I wouldn't give her a treat the day of the flight. Good luck.
