That's the same way I travel on United! A couple of things I have learned for Toto, just in case you have layovers or a long flight ... I always make sure I have a small bottle of water, favorite treats, puppy wipes and a couple of wee wee pads in my bag. Toto usually will never, ever tee tee in her carrier but she did on our very first flight! Fortunately she had her favorite blankie in there. After that, I always put on her little doggy diaper and found that she absolutely will not tee tee in it!! She will go for 12-14 hours and it's very upsetting to me but the vet says it shouldn't hurt her since it doesn't happen very often! I always take her to the bathroom, take the diaper off and put her on her wee wee pad but she absolutely will not go!! Airport bathrooms are so noisy & busy, it's hard to find a spot that's quiet for her. She just hates to fly and it's very upsetting to her ... she would be fine if she could just cuddle on my lap but so far I have only had one attendant willing to let me take her out of her carrier!! Good luck and I hope Bella enjoys her trip!
