I purchased a yorkie in Indiana and flew back to Florida with her. She was very quiet on the whole trip. You are lucky you only have a 1 hour flight. With changing planes and flying to Florida, it took a very long time. It is a new experience for them, so usually they are quiet. I did experience one problem. They are supposed to be in their carrier under the seat. Something was wrong with the air conditioning by my seat on that flight and my feet were absoutely freezing. I took her out of the bag (which is a real No No) and had her bundled in a blanket on my lap. She just layed there being quiet. My seat mate didn't seem to be a dog person but I told him it was too cold for her to be down there where the air conditioning was so cold and he didn't say anything because she was sooooo good. After we landed, he said she was a very good puppy.

On the next flight, I had a dog lover who flys her dog all the time. She helped hide the dog when the stewardess came by and the guy next to her said "who couldn't love that dog." They were great about it. You really are not supposed to take them out of the bag but she weighed two pounds and was so quiet that it worked.

My daughter just flew in from Atlanta (to Florida) with her rescue (a maltese s**tzu mix six months old who weighs 6 pounds). She said her dog was really good throughout the flight (a little over 2 hours) and didn't make a peep.

Good luck. I don't think you will have any problems.
