Need some advice! My spouse and I will be moving across the US with our two dogs. While they are small (18lbs and 12lbs) they seem to measure slightly taller than what is allowed in cabin on most flights (they are about 13/14 in tall and most requirements I’ve seen cap out at 11in) so now we are faced with the decision of checking them into cargo or plane hopping/driving.
We found a flight service where you can fly with them on your lap if they are small but it only goes a few states at a time. So we would have a 2/3 hour flight one day, 2 hour flight the next day and then a 9 hour drive to destination (probably broken up into 2 chunks)
Or we could check them into cargo but there are no non-stop flights so they would be in cargo for 9+ hours with no bathroom breaks presumably.
Neither of them has flown before or experienced anything like this. Is it better to have them with us in cabin/driving but over more days? Or get the traveling out of the way in 1 uncomfortable day?
