Do not sedate dogs for flights. Especially puppies as it can stop their hearts and kill them. Many vets advise against it for this reason.
I would get dog used to whatever bag he will be transported in and take him on some bus/car rides for positive reinforcement.
Put potty pads, lots of them, on his bag and also put a diaper on him. Since he is flying on board with you just change his diaper every few hours and you'll be fine. Think of it like flying with a baby. Tsa allows dog food on the plane and you can always get water in the plane so just take a small plate or Tupperware to keep him hidrated and fed. Make sure he has plenty of space in his crate to stand up and turn (all airline requires this for onboard pets and some DO measure their size at check in- remember dog must fit under seat compartment meaning dog can't be taller than 10-12" in a standing position.) and throw in some toys + have spare to exchange and keep him interested. Comfort him and remember to stand up and stretch since your legs will be extra cramped from keeping him under your seat! Oh and it's illegal to take them out of the bag on board so when changing diapers either do it in bathroom or work magic to do it inside the bag.
I picked up my 2 month old puppy from the other side of the US and flew her in one of these. She was awesome and didn't even cry! Slept most of the way.

But she barely fit standing at that age so hopefully your puppy does too otherwise they will check her in!!! Which is bad!
Good luck.
