  Wellllll.....keep in mind not all flight attendants will let you put the bag in your lap, just fyi 

. I don't use a crate at home either, some people don't. My guys just never liked them. 
I would highly recommend you see how he reacts w/ the crate...for en extended period of time. Because I cannot tell you how stressed I was for Marcel's first flight, when he acted up the whole time. I felt SO bad for him, so bad for those next to me, and so stressed myself bc I felt helpless.  
Some dogs really do do fine....but others....do not
