I've only flown once, but this is my experience.
1. They had me strip Kaji down to his birthday suit (no clothes no collar no harness) and place everything in his kwigy Bo. I carried him through the metal detector and his bag went through the exray thing.
2. It depends on the airport workers. I walked Kaji in his leash through LAX, but he had to be carried in TN.
3. Piddle pads are your best friend. I placed a puddle pad on the floor in a stall in the bathroom and Kaji went before the flight.
4. I'm not comfortable with medicating unnecessarily. I didn't, and have a high strung, high anxiety dog. He was fine.
5. Fee depends on the airline, and paperwork depends on the state. It's best to just have a health certificate in hand just in case. You have to call ahead and "reserve" your pup's space on the flight and then pay at the counter when you get to the airport. I don't know how this would work with last minute flights.
