My yorkie is 12 weeks and I have to fly this weekend. I was thinking about bringing my puppy on the plane...any advice for me??

Is this a bad idea?

I traveled with my baby and she was a doll. I went on a 6 hour flight from CA to NY and she never made a sound. I didn't have to give her anything. The only thing I would recommend is when you get to the airport, ask the lady when you check in, to give you a row to yourself if it's available or at least one empty seat next to you. That way you can put your babies bag on the chair so she can see you. I had a whole row to myself so I slept and she slept in her bag right next to me. I had the best experience with her. They let me take her out once or twice but they are mostly pretty strict about the pets being out of their bags. I would totally do it again.

We took Maxi from Indy to NC a few years ago. It was $200 round trip. Make sure you get the health papers from your vet.

Maxi was a doll during the travel. One of the stewardesses was a bear

.

Who can resist such a cute face? She was so mean when I took him out for some water during our layover(we kept the same plane.)

I brought my puppy home on a plane. You have to call the airlines directly and make a reservation, there are only so many pets allowed in the cabin. You will need a current health certificate from your vet.
They charge you a fee each way mine was $80.00 for her to fly under the seat.
My flight was overbooked, but I did take her out of her carrier, the flight attendants didn't say anything (I picked the last seat in the back of the plane, window seat) and I warned my seatmates I had a puppy and would be taking her out. They didn't mind.

It was fine and worked out. We were on a plane a total of 6 hrs. I took her into the bathroom and put her on a pee pad to go potty. She did get sick, so bring some baby wipes.
