FAQs
What is a Comfort Stop?
A Comfort Stop is layover care for a pet with a long connection at Moncton International (YQM). We meet the pet at arrivals or the cargo desk, give them a real break out of the crate, then re-check them into their connecting flight before departure. It turns a stressful multi-hour layover into a calm one.
Why Moncton (YQM)?
Moncton is a CargoJet hub and a common connection point for pets flying off the island of Newfoundland to the rest of Canada. Direct flights from Newfoundland are limited, so dogs often sit at YQM for hours between flights. We are based in New Brunswick with an established YQM relationship, so we can be there on arrival.
What does the $399 include?
A flat $399 CAD covers meeting the pet on arrival, a potty break, a walk, fresh water, a hands-on wellness check, and re-checking them into their connecting flight within the 3 to 4 hour layover window. No hourly billing and no surprise add-ons.
Do you handle re-checking the pet into the next flight?
Yes. That is the core of the service. We do not just give a break and leave. We stay with the pet and re-check them into their connecting flight so they are back in the system on time for departure.
Is this only for dogs from Newfoundland?
Newfoundland connections are the most common reason people book it, but the Comfort Stop works for any dog or small pet with a long layover at YQM, regardless of where they started.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you have the flight details. We coordinate around the arrival and connecting flight times, so the earlier we have the itinerary the better. Send us the flight numbers, the pet, and the layover window and we will confirm availability.
