I discussed it with my vet. He had no opinion either way, but gave me five mild sedatives for whichever way I decideft>.

For a fee, you can get a certificate online that will let you pretend your dog is a therapy dog, thus getting him on the plane. It generally works because the law states you can't ask questions about the dog or what it does.
I hate people who abuse the system like that. We had an old queen who used to come to my bar for happy hour.
One day he showed up with a dog and said it was an emotional therapy dog and we had to let it in. I looked it up and he was right. However he annoyed both myself and the bartender so we decided the dog was welcome, but the owner was not.

Therapy dogs have to ride in a crate under the seat in front of you Now emotional support animals ride with you but you have to have a letter from Doctor that you need such animal. Service dogs ride with you but you need a physical reason/condition no letter required

Now if I were you I would go to your vet and discuss with them what the problem is and get a mild sedative. Please try a dose before the trip to see if it works. I wouldn't fly this dog much more traumatic then a car ride.

As weather warms up he may be out on the tarmac for quite a while, where it may be extremely warm. The flight crew also needs to be aware of a pet traveling and to change the temperature in the cargo hold, so that it isn't freezing cold. I think it is much more humane to map out pet friendly hotels (or motels) and have a great car trip with him, even if he can only go a few hours at a time.
