I am in Colorado right now, and traveled here from California with Wobie for Christmas. It was really stressful, and I'm not sure if I'd do it again, because I was so worried about him. I might just stay home next time.
I suggest asking your vet about tranquilizers for your baby. My vet gave me tiny doses of medication to calm him down and make him a little sleepy. I cut the dose he gave me in half, just to be sure it wouldn't be too strong for him. It is a lot easier if your baby is very comfortable in his carrier. Wobie is fine in his carrier, but he still got a little frightened at the noises. The vibrations on the floor, where the carrier is supposed to stay, are much more intense then what we feel in our seats. For most of the flight, I was bent over in my seat reaching under the seat in front of me, with my hand in his carrier, trying to make sure he was calm. He was okay, but I was a wreck.
I have to do it all over again tonight, to go back home, so maybe I'll have more advice tomorrow.
