I have flown with our two iggys, one 8lbs and the other 20lbs, multiple times both across the domestic USA and internationally (greater than 20hrs).

The little one has canine epilepsy so she rides with my wife and I in the cabin. We use the following carrier: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063433G/

The airlines are more than likely not going to check the carrier for size or anything. I put my kindle and other stuff into a medium sized sherpa carrier as my carryon as well so that after takeoff she'd have more room to lay around. On the long flights, we even would surreptitiously put her on my wife's lap underneath a blanket. The flight attendants didn't seem to care but we kept it discreet.

Definitely do not give yours any sort of tranquilizer. We gave her an herbal medicine to help her keep calm (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016H2G8U/). We gave it about 30 minutes before arriving at the airport and it lasted a couple of hours. She wasn't drugged out or anything...just calm.

Lastly, remember to reserve your pet's spot on the plane ahead of time and BEFORE you buy your ticket. This means talking to someone on the phone or in person and confirming that you can have your dog in the cabin with you. Then, after purchasing your ticket, call and make sure that they attach that pet reservation to your confirmation number/ticket.

Travelling with pets is tough but I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have.

I used a pen for a while on my pup (now 8 months) and she never tried to jump or climb over it. I still use one outside as a potty pen, which she also don't jump over although she sometimes looks like she's going to try. It probably depends on your specific dog. I used a crate inside the pen along with a bed and potty pads. I used the pen for a few months before I switched to baby gates and gave her some freedom (as long as it's the room I am in). As for the crate, she loves it now. Just make sure it's comfy (bed and blankets inside) and that you ease him/her into it.

I liked started with a pen because, while she would cry, she didn't cry for long and would eventually settle in her bed (or start tearing up the potty pads, which was one annoying thing). I feel it gave her some time to calm down and give me time to do stuff without worrying about sticking her in the small crate. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00028IX7C (I have a gold one outside, but the door is annoying to use so I don't suggest that one.)
