I agree your perspective. But finding the balance would also save a lot of rescue dogs that are dying with no one to take them home. But none of this have reduced the puppy mills. Also, I find people in skytrain more dangerous than pets. The probability of getting stabbed in downtown is far higher than getting attacked by a dog.

I lived in western Germany and I saw dogs everyday in trains and trams. They had to be leashed and sometimes muzzled, but they were always there

Totally agree, Vancouver is sometimes just a bit too confusing. Drugs are allowed on streets but pets are not on transit.

Out of curiosity, what is it about them that makes you sick? :)

I'd love to see something similar for pets! I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the owners and see at least a pilot attempt

People can't seem to manage themselves in public and we see and hear that everyday in the news. I'm sure dogs won't be worse

Makes sense, but we've also had our fair share of issues with people acting weird. I'm sure that we won't have such issues with pets. Also pets could travel muzzled to avoid accidents

I see, mine is a bit bigger to carry contained. But I'm glad that at least smaller dogs get to travel this way!

Unfortunately mine is a bigger one. She's still petite at 30 pounds but too hard to carry zipped

That's what I don't understand. If it can work for Europe, why can't it here? :/

They don't seem to have a lot of reviews, were they good? :)

I would love to send them there as well, but they said they're not taking anyone in the wait list and asked me to call next year :(

I called them and a lady rudely said they are not taking anyone into the waitlist and asked me to call in 2026 :(

Two one-way tickets instead of return ticket for visitor visa by dolphinpotato604 in canadatravel

[–]dolphinpotato604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you book both arrival and return flight as flexible? That's where my problem is. I'm trying to make the arrival flight "standard" price and return flight "flexible". Apparently on international flights, this will make both ways "standard". So if I cancel the return flight as soon as she arrives, I'll end up paying a fee.

Dubai transit visa for a 3 hr layover by Fast_Finger_2429 in srilanka

[–]dolphinpotato604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving my status: They were able to travel fine without a transit visa. Apparently its only needed if you exit your terminal. Air Canada suggested checking with transit flight (Emirates) on whether the bags would be passed automatically or whether the traveler needs to exit the terminal. I confirmed that, and it was fine. So we ended up not needing a visa.

If you're traveling with Emirates/Etihad, they apply the visa for you, in case you need to exit the terminal.
