i'm planning on going to california from virginia - with my jack russell terrier, who is almost one years old. she's small - and she fits nicely and comfortably in the pet carrier that i have for her.
questions/considerations:
- do dogs need sedation or anything like that when going on plane trips? or should i just excercise her vigorously before the plane ride?
- should i feed her at all that day? (it takes about 4 hours and 31 minutes on a plane ride)
- i don't want her on cargo - i want her in the cabin with me, i want her to know i'm with her and i would feel alot better with her near me instead of lonely and scared.
- should i consider a muzzle? she is quite talkative sometimes and likes meeting people.
- do airports have doggy areas? like, if i had a layover somewhere - and she had to go potty or something like that.
please answer! thank you. :)

Actually there are many airlines these days that allow you to travel with your pet in the cabin (in carriers) these days. There are many rules and restrictions concerning pets and this United Airline's webpage answers most of your questions, although I'm not sure that United allows dogs in the cabin, you might want to check some other airline websites to see what they say:
