I just flew with Meeko from Ft Lauderdale to NJ 3 weeks ago. He was 6 months when we went and he did great. On the way to NJ, as the plane was taxi-ing to the runway it made a weird, loud, squeaky noise and he barked for a second. I just ignored him and he fell asleep. On the way home, he was an angel. Didn't made a sound, no one knew I had him with me till we landed and I picked up his carrier and gave him a treat. I gave him benedryl on the way up but, since I plan to fly a lot with him, I didn't on the way to. I want to get him use to the sounds. We'll be flying up 2-3 times a year.
Does your baby like to be in the car? Does he ever lay down and just fall asleep while your driving? Meeko LOVES being in the car and always fall asleep with the vibration. I really think this helped. If your baby isn't use to being in a car, I'd start taking him a trips! If you have questions just PM me. I was so nervous before I left, had a million questions.
