I have a 4p and brought my Yorkshire Terrier (yes I know lol) in the plane a couple of times. The first time he was in the back seat and he was just nervous but seemed ok.

I also have the ear muffs but they suck....so I use towel to protect his ears (actually my girl is doing this) and he likes the attention.

My plane is not so good insulated so it is a bit noisy, but I noticed that when I set the MAP at 29 it is much quieter, so better :)
