[nagdu] First Flight with New Dog

[Kody Keplinger]

I'm flying Delta, nonstop from NYC to Portland, OR, so I'm guessing it'll
be a pretty big plain. Does anyone have experience flying Delta in
particular?

Thanks for all the helpful advice, guys! I'm also concerned about relief
areas, if anyone has feedback on that issue?
