Flying with a dog!

I'm sure this has been brought up a million times, but does anyone have any advice for flying with a dog? Unfortunately, Nicho is 25 pounds, so he'll be in the cargo area and that freaks me out. I've never flown with a dog before...I already hate flying, and now I have to worry about someone else flying with me, lol
I'm sure many of you have experience with this, so does anyone have any pointers or tips?

i have never flown with a dog, so i have no advice but hopefully somebody else can give some advice have a safe trip!

Thank you

Where you going??

Alaska. :O

Try not to worry. There are several rescues in the middle east who bring Saluki's to Europe and North America and in the past 3 months they have flown about 15 dogs, all in cargo. All the dogs arrived healthy. Those were some loooong flights and apart from needing a good long pee everyone was happy and ready for cuddling.
