Not to bury tori's question, but now that this thread is bumped, I have a few of my own.
I'm waiting to hear from my IS, Illinois (6 hours), and UF (16/18 hours, or two planes). I will miss my dog dearly, but won't bring her with me. I can't feel good leaving her in a kennel all day. However, I want to bring my cat and rabbit. It's not leaving them at home that I'm worried about....it's the traveling. If I got into UF, I'm looking at flying home for Christmas (I'd likely do the drive for summer break). Can anyone tell me how they've handled flying with pets? Have you had them as carry-ons, or had them stowed? I've seen one dog put into the underbelly of a plane, and I have never in my life seen an animal so scared before. I'd like to avoid that.
