My husband and I are traveling to the US with Air France in company of our senior dog who will be in the cargo. During our 4 hour layover, we are requested by the airline to claim our pet and check him back in. Do I need to issue a Shengaen visa to do so, as I am a Lebanese passport holder?

We are flying into the international terminal at Paris and have 1 hr 20 minutes to make our connection in another terminal G. We understand we have to catch a tram in F and leave security and reenter security at G. Do people have issues with this transit and having enough time. We travel Air France and have them helping us with wheel chair. Would this help and speed us up through the different terminals and security sites? Thanks you Paul

Every terminal in Paris is an "international terminal". You're going to have to be more specific about what airline you are flying and where you are flying from and to

Hello and thank you in advance for your help. I am transporting 3 big dogs from Bucharest to the US. I will have to check them in again in CDG. Our layover is 4 hr. Is there enough time? Is CDG dog friendly? Does terminal 2E has any exit outside for potty breaks before the long flight? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I'm flying from China to the USA on Air France with a 2.5hr layover in Paris at CDG. We are traveling with three dogs (pets) in the cargo hold as excess baggage. At layover in CDG, Air France requires us to claim our pets and check them in on the next flight. Although we aren't changing airlines and our layover is under 3 hours, we will still need to go through customs. Will we need to meet all EU customs requirements for our dogs? I can't find a clear answer on this and I also can't get ahold of anyone from CDG customs.
