If you're taking it in the cabin, there's usually a limit of 2 dogs per cabin (1st and coach) so get tell then you're bringing a dog ASAP. I've flown with one of my dogs - the old female. We were in first and she's only 13 pounds and everyone thought she was cute except for all the snorting sounds, lol. She's the only one of all 4 of mine I'd get on a plane with.
If you're planning on putting it in the belly of the plane, many airlines won't put them there during certain times of the year.
Also get some Xanax for the dog from your vet and get a carrier on wheels - 13 pounds doesn't sound like much until you're carrying it through an airport.
Friends of mine fly their lab back and forth from South America to ATL a few times a year and don't seem to have any problems.
