We brought a dog that way from the UK to here, and while he did ok, he was traumatized. Friends of our's dog didn't make it.
You can hire a pet transit service that just flies dogs - but that would be if you are moving, not a trip. $$$$$
"many"?
Really?
Is that like "most"....?
I don't think this is true.
I think if it were true, it would be a bigger story.
Since there's no story, I think you are making that up.
Sure there are accidents and exceptions but I don't think you can truthfully characterize that as "many".

There is a Facebook group called “flying with dogs” that can walk you through picking an airline, selecting a crate, getting the proper documentation, and tell you what to expect when you bring the dog to the airport and deliver them to the cargo drop off.
If the dog isn’t a service dog, or under 20 lbs and shorter than about 10” (varies slightly based on airline), they aren’t going in cabin.

You don't.
You drive.
Or you ship the dog cargo.

I don’t think you can buy a seat for a non service dog

If they’re a puppy or small enough to fit in a carrier.

How can you fly commercial with a dog that is not a certified service one?
