I've had about the same experiences as the rest of you with unbending flight attendants and poor accommodations for little dogs on flights, but my biggest gripe is a lack of anywhere to take them when you get stuck in in an airport between flights.
Eddie once had a 12-hour stretch where I couldn't take him outside of a plane or an airport. He's not pee-pad trained, so he was miserable. He made it 9 hours without an accident, but peed in his container on the last 3-hour leg of our flight. He was miserable when we finished.
If they're charging us $80 per direction to carry these guys on, why can't they have a room or somewhere they can go to pee or stretch their legs between flights? I'd like to raise a stink about it, but I'm afraid they'd just get fed up and stop allowing little dogs on planes altogether.
