Most airlines will allow a cabin pet. There are a certain amount of cabin pets per flight allowed, usually only 1 in First Class or Business Class and 2 in Coach, so make sure you call reservations to document you will have a cabin pet. The pet must be small enough to fit in a kennel under the seat in front of you and can not be taken out at any point during the flight. Most airlines pet fee is $50 each way. If you make your reservations online, check the airlines policy for cabin pets so that you can get the dimensions of what kennels are acceptable for carrying on.
There are restrictions as well as to the type of pet you can carry on. Dogs and cats of small size are welcome but they must be calm or sedated if they are hyper. If your animal causes any distractions, you can be removed from the flight prior to departure.
At check in you must advise the ticket agent you are carrying a cabin pet and pay the applicable fee's. The agent will ask you the name age and breed of the animal, and it will be necessary to view the kennel to ensure it is with in FAA guidelines. The agent will then tag the kennel to signify it is a cabin pet and the tag will need to be visible at all times. Check in at the gate and show the tag to the gate agent. You are welcome to request pre-boarding if you need some time to get situated onboard the aircraft with the pet, but its not always possible. When you board the aircraft, the flight attendant will also need to see the tag so that they can be made aware that there is a pet onboard.
Once you are in the airport, you can not removed the pet from the carrier, so make sure you walk the pet if necessary before entering the airport. Check with your vet for appropriate feeding times prior to flight and any information you may need should you need to sedate the animal so that you dont have to worry about it getting sick.
Here is information to use as an example from www.delta.com. Its pretty standard for most airlines.
Government Regulations
Some states may require a health certificate for your pet. Your veterinarian, the U.S. Department of Agriculture at 800-545-8732, or the Department of Agriculture of the state you are traveling to may provide you with more information.
Pets As Carry On
Your pet can travel with you in the cabin for a one-way fee of $50 (to be collected at check-in) when traveling within the United States (except Hawaii), Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Pets permitted in the cabin include dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. Monkeys, pot-bellied pigs, reptiles, frogs, mice, rats, and spiders are not permitted. The following restrictions apply:
Your pet must be small enough to fit comfortably in a kennel under the seat directly in front of you. Maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight. You must contact Delta Reservations to determine the appropriate kennel size.
Your pet must remain inside the kennel (with door secured) while in a Delta boarding area (during boarding and deplaning), a Delta airport lounge, and while onboard the aircraft.
Your pet must be at least 8 weeks old.
You may not carry on more than one pet.
Your pet in-cabin counts as one piece of carry-on baggage.
If you're traveling to Hawaii, your pet won't be able to go with you in the cabin, and other restrictions may apply. See Pets to Hawaii for more information.

Hi, UK airlines do not allow pets to travel in the passenger cabin except Service Animals (guide dogs etc) If you dog is a Pug there is a high possibility that airlines will not carry it anyway as Pugs are snubbed nosed dogs and can have breathing difficulties. Why not contact Layhaye kennels and they will point you in the right direction.

some will,,,,some will no longer allow it because of allergy complaints and the fact that some pet owners seem to think that their little darlings can run around onboard..check with the airline you're travelling with.

I think you also have to pay a fee even if they're small enough to fit under the seat in front of you.
