Several airlines will actually let you buy a seat if you have a bigger dog. Others fit your pet in a certain size carrier for a fee

If the pet is small enough, you can take it with you in a carrier. That's how our cats have done a couple of shorter flights.

If they fit in the cabin, take them in the cabin. If not try not to transport them by air, but if you must get a vet to tranquilise them.

Most airlines wouldn't allow my pets to fly tranquilized. They need to be awake and aware. We moved Europe to Canada 3 cats 1 dog.

If they are in a carrier, do not put them in the overhead bin. I know it sounds stupid but people have done that and dogs have died.

YES!! consult your vet, there's plenty of options, a combination of drugs such as gabapentin, trazodone and ace are amazing, low doses 1/
