I traveled with my baby for the Holidays to the Dominican Republic. Abby is not crate trained and being enclosed for the 3 hour flight would not go so good. 1 month before the flight I bought a Sherpa bag and laid it by her bed and make her comfortable in it. She would sometimes sleep there or bring her bully sticks to chew in there. So when I spoke to the vet when I went to get her traveling papers he told me to give her 1 ML (she is only 3 lbs) of dramamine if i can find it in liquid form and if not give her 1 ML of children's benadryl. It worked wonderfully. She did start whining and barking cause she woke up in the last hour of the flight. Since she is so small I just put her under the blanket they give u and she knocked out again!! I know your not allowed to do that but I didnt want to disturb the other passangers and the flight attendants didnt even notice... She just wanted to be close to mommy!!! LOL. I suggest you try to speak to your vet about any safe sedation and to give u the exact liquid amt to give as per her size.

Sorry about the long post, just wanted to give u advice.... Good Luck !
