Connecting flights: do I need pet requirements for layover countries?
Sometimes, yes. Some jurisdictions have transit rules that apply even if you are only connecting through an airport.
What PadsPass does
When you plan a trip with connecting flights, PadsPass can show:
- Origin requirements
- Destination requirements
- Transit (layover) country requirements
Example
If you fly from Mexico to Canada with a connection through the United States, you may see United States transit pet requirements in addition to Mexico and Canada requirements.
What to do if you are unsure
If you are not sure whether a layover counts as “transit” for your situation, contact support and include:
- Origin and destination
- Layover airport(s)
- Travel dates
- Pet type (dog, cat, service animal)
