If the kitty does well in a car it will probably do well in the plane too. Put it in a plastic carrier with a towel on the floor so an  "accident" won't leak out.

Do not let it out of the carrier under any circumstances (safety of flight issue). Stay below 12000 ft unless pressurized. Don't worry about its ears. They'll be ok with infrequent, short exposures to noise.
