Be prepared to take kitty out of the carrier when you go through the metal detector. I suggest a harness and leash that is already attached to the cat before you put it in the carrier. Also, a towel or pillow case or something to cover the cat with so that it doesn't freak as you walk it through the metal detector before getting it back into the carrier once you clear security.
I think Ace is too heavy-duty. I'd be more inclined to slip the cat a little Torb-Val. My mother's vet did recommend Benadryl syrup once. Though, if the cat is reasonably tame, I might skip the sedatives entirely.
Uhhh, feed lightly or not at all before the flight. (I'm imagining the stenchg of cat poop-in-carrier in the close confines of an airplane.)

Hey folks,
I'm flying to Minneapolis on Saturday, a 2.5 hour flight from LIttle
Rock, and taking a sweet, energetic young Siamese kitty to his
owner. Kitty will ride in the cabin with me. I've never taken a
kitty on board with me before, so a new experience.
The vet gave me a sedative, ACE., and am pondering whether to use the
sedative or not. Someone said that another option would be Benadryl,
along with Rescue Remedy.
Any experiences with taking kitties on flights? With ACE? Think the
dosage was 1/2 tablet followed by 1/4 if needed.
Thanks much!
Gloria
