We flew to Tampa in May and Maybelline was just 6 months old.
It was a 2 hour flight and we did not sedate. I had read the site and many recommended not sedating because they are more disoriented then end up in a strange place with out all the smells of home.
She did just fine except we had a little tee-tee accident in the bag but I had put a pee pee pad down inside the bag. So no harm and we just rinsed off quickly and deposited the pad in the restroom when we landed. I just held her off water for a few hours before the flight home and she flew all the way home without an accident.
We took her out of her bag to go through TSA but no one took her from us and inspected her. Just have her papers handy; however, no one asked to look at Maybelline's.
I think you will be more relaxed if you are not worried about sedation and if she will wake up in a good mood. The plane is so loud that the other passengers can not hear them if they whine a bit; most do not even know when they are on a flight.
Good Luck!
