Questions

Where do the rules come from?

From government pages: USDA APHIS and the CDC, GOV.UK, the European Commission, Rosselkhoznadzor and the authorities of each destination. Every route links its sources and shows when we last checked it.

Does a plan guarantee entry?

No. Your vet, the airline and the border authority have the final word. Tailtrip lowers the risk of a missed paper or a wrong date. Check the official links again before you fly.

Do you store my trip?

No. The planner runs in your browser. We count anonymous events and keep your email only if you leave it.

Can my pet fly in the cabin?

That depends on the airline. Some routes, such as flights into Great Britain, require cargo. Ask your airline before you book.
