I was considering bringing Jackson with me to Colorado to visit my uncle since he offered to buy Jackson a ticket too but I'm just too worried about it. I'd be flying by myself and I don't know if I could do it. Jackson is 12lbs so I don't know how well he would fit under the seat, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand up? I'm not really sure though. He's not crate-trained, he doesn't like being in a crate or anything, but he's a wonderful traveler in the car. I don't know -- I'm just TOO worried to do it. If it was a shorter flight, I think I'd be less worried but MD to CO is 5 hours or more. If I was able to walk him through the airport on a leash, I think I'd feel more comfortable. And if I KNEW I was gonna be able to take him out during the flight, I'd feel better.
