I have flown, but only once, although it was about a 2000mile trip, broke up in two parts.

I used a purse carrier, it was very handy, as I put in to the carrier all of "our" travel documents, my wallet, passport, et al. Along with a small emergency kit. I also bought bottle water after the security check in and was able to take the water with me on the plane.

Be prepared to remove your dog from the carrier, then you and he walk through the security gizmos together. Then you place him back in the carrier when you clear security.

I used two disposable wee pads in the bottom of his purse carrier, and I took him to the washroom and laid down one pee pad for him to weewee on. Of course he didn't, I merely folded it up, and placed it back in the bag.

I loved my purse carrier, as I snuck him in lots to restaurants; how-ever I would have liked a hard sided crate once I was at my destination. In fact I acutally bought one. He was being shown, and also it was a tad roomier to put him in, when I had to leave him for short periods of time in the room. I also carried a lock with me, to lock him into his crate.

I absolutely adore the fact I can travel with my dog on a plane. But it does require some logisitics once you arrive at your destination. How-ever by the sounds of it; you will have lots of help, and a secure and safe place for your puppy to stay, when you do need to go out and about.

Enjoy your trip....
