Hi Hannah.
Congratulations on finishing your training!  Now the real adventure begins!
In my experience with 6 dogs, I find that my attitude can affect my dog's
attitude, so my advice about any new thing, like flying, is to maintain a
positive attitude myself.  If you're nervous, Princess may pick that up and
become nervous.  If you're calm and confident, she'll pick that up too, and
be more calm and confident herself.
JMO.
Good luck, and congrats!
Tracy
