I was recently checking the airline regulations on a website and it sucks, but the treatment you got seems to be legitimate. I am not saying that they were right, I think they should have been a lot more understanding, but they can do that. My parents have traveled overseas with their Maltese before, and they could not take her out of the carrier, or move her carrier from under the seat once in the 12 hour flight. My mother said that the airlines sometimes have very specific regulations on when and how much the pup gets to eat and drink.
We might be moving overseas soon, and I am very scared about the whole plane experience because I know Mia is going to cry until she faints. Ugh, I wish there was a pleasant way to travel long distances with these little guys.
