I fly with Lucy all the time and I have never used a sedative. From the first time she flew she just goes to sleep, I actually wake her up and take her into the lavatory mid flight with a pee pad so she can go if she needs to. I know there are others who have used sedatives and been fine but unless I absolutely couldn't avoid it I personally wouldn't use a sedative. JMO
