Tomorrow I am going to my family reunion- We are flying.
I have flown many times before, however it is rarely a good experience for me.
This will also be my service dog's first flight.

Anything i may not of thought of to help manage myself on the flight, and/or any tips for flying with a service animal?

If you were alone you can get loads of help.

Can you see? Buy a tablet and battery pack and fill it full of stuff.

I wouldn't bother with a suitcase but that will be family.

Make sure you don't take liquid or stuff like deodorant that weights over 3 ounces or 100 grams; otherwise, they will take away the item.

That's only for hand. I always buy when I get there.
