Check with your airline. If you're flying Southwest, you won't be able to bring them on at all. They have a strict no-pet policy. I'm curious though. A 45 minute plane ride is only a couple hundred miles by car. You could drive. As long as the airline puts them in a heated and pressurized cargo hold (like any other pet), they’ll be fine.

Check with a vet. Also, confirm from the airline that the cargo compartment of the very plane you are flying in is pressurized.
