Federal regulations require that pets be at least 8-weeks old. They need a veterinary health certificate within 10-days of travel.
Keep in mind that the space for bathroom breaks for a dog are about 1 hour per month of age. That means a 2-month old dog can go for about 2-hours. I think it usually best to wait until a dog is 6-months or older for air transport, so it can make the time frame from loading, travel and unloading for a 2-3 hour flight.
If you are going to travel by car, you just need to keep in mind making sure that you have time for bathroom breaks, and a little bit of exercise.
