If you make reservations now, you should have no problem flying your cats in June/July (summer time) because they can fly INSIDE THE CABIN.
Our cat flew from Germany, to several stops in the U.S., and then on to Japan and then Okinawa - 10 flights in all - INSIDE THE CABIN, with no problems whatsoever.
I recommend purchasing a portable litter pan (folds to about the size of an envelope - it's awesome).. it really came in handy.
During the flight - we would put ice cubes in our hands and let her lick from it.. we also had cat treats for her to nibble on every hour to keep her tummy calm.
We flew the leg of our journey from L.A. to Yakota, to Oki via an AMC flight - and again - all inside the cabin for the cat. :)
You can do it.... I promise!
