Los Angeles to Saigon, Transiting through Taipei

[Lethrice]

Hi all,

Have read the postings from other travelers bringing their animals through Taiwan, so thank you very much for posting the Transit Permit link! I pored over the Eva Air website (the airline I am using) and that wasn't listed on there so it was really helpful to find.

I have a couple questions that I didn't see answered in other posts:

-I will be bringing my animal on board in the cabin (9 lb dog) in a carrier. Since I will have him with me when I enter the airport, does anyone know how the transit process works when you are hand-carrying an animal? Will I just show my paperwork and then he will hang out with me while I wait for our next connection, or will we have to stay in a quarantine area of the airport for the duration of the layover? My layover is 4 hours - I hope this is enough time?

-Additionally, I haven't seen any references to an animal relief area in the Taipei airport. I imagine after a 12 hour flight my guy will be looking for a toilet. Any helpful suggestions?

Thank you!

Lethrice - it is our understanding that Eva Airlines does not transport pets in the cabin. They are a good airline for transiting pets through Taiwan as this airport is difficult to transit. You may want to contact them for additional details.
