Mexican Customs in BJX (Leon Bajio airport) said I also needed a certificate of health (or something like that) from the US Department of Agriculture. A bribe cleared it up (NP200), but just be aware.


3. We also had trouble getting pet spots available. We were bringing our two Yorkies, so we had to book one of us in Y and one in F. We also paid a LOT of fees. However, never ONCE in the entire journey (EWR-ORD-IAH-BJX-IAH-EWR), did any CO employee ever verify that we paid any fee. Every single FA had no clue that there was to be a pet on board. And none of them cared. In fact, we had purchased an F award for my wife and I was on a paid Y ticket. I got upgraded on most flights, and sat next to my wife in F, with our two Yorkies.
