I'm travelling with Milo for the first time. We're going to Turkey from Toronto, Ontario.

I got him a Sherpa bag and he'll be allowed to go in the cabin with me. But I'm worried about the duration of the flight. I'll be at the airport 3 hours prior to flying, then it's an 8 hour flight to Amsterdam. Then we have a 5 hour wait there and another 3.5 hour flight to Istanbul. Then we have another 2 hour wait in Istanbul and another hour of flying to another city. So we'll be travelling for almost 24 hours. The vet wanted to sedate him or medicate him with motion sickness medicine, but I don't think it's a good idea, so I passed on it.

He's never travelled before and I'm worried about him getting sick. He's going to have to eat, drink and go to the bathroom at some point. I don't know if the airports allow dogs to come out of their travel bags and go outside or not. Any advice or suggestions?
