I just took Abbey on her first plane ride and she cried the whole way. I would take the bag she was in and put it on my lap and stick my hand inside to try to comfort her but she still cried. So on the plane ride back I put her under the seat and left her...when she cried I gently said "NO, sleep!" (which is what I say to her when I put her in her crate at night to sleep) and she did much better. For her, it was better to be put down under the seat and be left alone. When she was up with me and could see me it made her cry more.
