Keoki is great flying and he is a bigger boy- 8 pounds but he has a Sherpa and just sleeps no potty breaks and has never been sedated- rescue remedy is an herbal relaxant for dogs if needed but he is always fine- almost every airport has a designated doggy area for potty breaks. The last time I flew with him I got very upset when we were landing because he was shaking which led me to believe his ears might have been bothering him but i have never seen that happen before or since. On Continental in coach I feel like the Sherpa bag is a bit shmooshed but he is fine I pet him alot and he just sleeps. When I get a second dog I will move up to first class so there is more room for two
Good luck!!!! Keep us posted!
