Nancy and all, yes I've usually found it quite easy for travel with the Cavaliers as well. However, there are instances when it is not always easy.......it is totally dependent on the personnel, especially the ones at the ticket counter. Usually, by the time you get past the ticket counter you're home free. But, I've had a couple of instances where there was a problem. One time it was at the New Orleans Airport. The ticket agent was new.....questioned carrying the dog in-cabin.....called someone else....they weren't sure either....called someone else. Then they all three "decided" that the dog could not stand up in the bag and, therefore, would not be allowed to fly in-cabin. I was flying first class and I cried and carried on as much as anyone. No way would they agree. They loaned me a crate and my dog had to fly in cargo.........what made matters worse was it was a connecting flight, so the dog had to be removed from one plane and taken to another. I did write and complain to the airline later and was sent a certificate for 10,000 miles toward my mileage club.
Reason I'm giving details here is........I totally believe one should be as discreet as possible. There are always agents that are either uninformed or don't like dogs. I never, ever take the dog out of the bag except going through X-ray. If possible, at the ticket counter, try and quickly let them look at the bag if they ask and then move it behind the counter next to your feet.
