I just took Annika on her first plane ride . . . it went very smoothly and you couldn't ask for a more well-behaved furbaby
Okay, it is best to have a pet carrier that is airline approved. With this in mind, you know there will be netting on both sides so she won't feel to enclosed. She will know you are just right there with her, especially since for the most part she will be under the seat (unless you can sneak her out which I did).
As far as potty training, it all depends on how long your baby can hold her pee. With her sitting for the most part of the flight, she probably would NOT need to go (at least Annika didn't since she can hold her pee for 8 hours if needed. Now she is used to going on a pee pad but going through a women's bathroom can be a nightmare since there will be no privacy and she would not be able to go easily due to distraction. I highly suggest you find a family restroom so you can have the entire restroom to yourself. That is what I did and it kept Annika within the confines of the room and with nobody around but me, she went on the pad like she was right at home
Hope this is helpful . . and good luck to your baby's first plane ride
