I've flown my toy poodles many times. I reccomend a soft side case that will fit under the seat. Pet stores can help you. Also, you might chat with your vet and share your concerns...while my dogs have had no problems that might vary with breeds, so better to be safe.
You usually aren't allowed to remove your pet from the carrier once on the plane. Mine seemed to just mostly sleep. I'd drive them around in a car on bumpy roads in their carrier some before flying to get them used to the noise, etc.
Oh, and take them outside as late before the plane leaves as possible and scope out a grassy knoll as soon as you arrive!!
