  I always tried to get Maxine her own seat for a few dollars more, but the airlines would not let me. We have been really lucky and most of the time have had great attendants that let us take her out of the bag, or put the bag on our lap. She must have had 20 plane rides at least, and also logged many miles in the car back and forth the Arizona.  I never flew Carlo as an adult. He either rode in the car to AZ, or he was boarded at the training facility.  |
